Analysis Of The Apocalypse of Bill Lizard

By Connor Ellis and Ben Walker

Generic Verisimilitude

The apocalypse of bill lizard has a high level of Generic Verisimilitude is it fits perfectly with the Comedy Genre.

Informal

The whole story line is very much informal as the genre is informal, yet the word juxtaposition comes to mind as the beginning seems very believable all because of the formal mode of address.

Propp’s Theory

The Radio Drama matches Propp’s theory in that the the hero is bill lizard, helper is the rabbit? The damsel is the grandad of the girl who is stuck in a box or rather a vortex. The helper is the female.

Todorov’s theory

The equilibrium would represent the introduction with the speech and ambient music bed, the disruption would represent the involvement of a female character, the resolution is hard to say because we found quite weird and hard to figure out.

Cultural Codes

• Quite a strong American accent with a gentle relaxed approach to rhythm, the language register aims this particular radio broadcast at no specific audience all-though the language used is very much adult and formal, at least in the beginning.
