Lars and the Real Girl

The three formative events that shaped Lar’s sense of self in his early development are his mother died at birth, his dad getting depressed because of it leading him to his death, and finally his brother running away from him. His mother died at birth and that made it unable for a mother figure to be there and raise him. His father got depressed and raised the kids with however he could and how he was able to handle it. Well, his brother obviously could not get a sense of how to help out and he got scared. It is not entirely everyone’s fault but these three thigs shaped him into becoming completely astranged from the world.

The three nonverbal communicator characteristics of Lars that changed when Bianca arrived was he was able to smile to people, he ate at his brother’s house, and also he was getting ready carefully. Also Lars was capable of touching people back like shaking other people’s hands.

Lars always felt like and outsider and the creation of Bianca helped him fill the void of loneliness he had experienced his whole life. The passing of Bianca was something that needed to happen once Lars was finally able to physically and emotionally connect with someone real and not just made up in his mind to deal with it all.

The “real girl” who finally helped Lars feel the emotions that make us human was Margo, a co-worker of Lars. Their relationship started off really simple Lars wouldn’t even look at her let alone talk to her about anything.
