Much of the film
is told through the character of Briony. She
is only thirteen when the story begins. A lot importance is put on Briony's
imagination and her confusion. Often, Briony is unable to separate between her
real and her false worlds.
At the start of the film, there is a erge to portray Briony as an innocent child, unaware of what she is doing. She had seen that Robbie was more attracted to Cecilia than to her. She was jealous. This revelation changes the view of the character's intentions. Even as a child, she knew right from wrong.
Briony carry on to feel guilty four years after the big event that sends Robbie to jail. This has been brewing inside of her for some time. She then sees Robbie, wounded with other soldiers and finally begins to feel sorry and regret what she has done to him and how she has ruined her sister Cecilia's life.
In comparason to Briony, there is Cecilia. She is a bundel of emotions: a symbol of sexuality, love, passion, and giving. While Robbie is in jail and then later in the war, Cecilia is helping him to hold onto his sanity and bring him home. Just as she used to hold Briony in her arms when Briony suffered from nightmares as a child, Cecilia woos Robbie home with whispered emotion: "Come back. Come back."
Cecilia's character lingers in the shadowy background of the story. Whereas both Cecilia and Briony become nurses, it is Briony that readers see in action at the hospital.
