This is significantly demonstrated in the texts ‘Educating Rita’ by Willy Russell, ‘An Education’ by Nick Hornby and the poem ‘The Door’ by Miroslav Holub. Rita, the street-wise, fast-talking, main character of Educating Rita, embarks on an Open University course because she wants more out of her life. She is discontented- “out of step” with her husband, family and friends- and wants to learn “everything”, hoping that an education will allow her to move into a different world, one where she has some “choice” about the direction of her life. This links to the film ‘An Education’ where David is describing Jenny, “Isn’t it wonderful to find someone who wants to find out new things”.

Storytelling is important to human existence because it is a means of capturing memories of the past and incorporating them into ethical and everyday life. Memory and ethics coincide with each other as one can be an explanation or an observation of the other; without one, the other would most likely not make sense.

Through the prologue of Goodbye Lemon , Davies wants to convey to his audience that you can bring any character to life through writing.
