WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN

After having watched the film, I would like you to comment on some discussion questions I've come up with in the following VoiceThread.

• Is Eva responsible for creating a child she sees as a monster, or was he a monster all along? Was Kevin evil from the very beginning?
• Why is Eva suffering public reproof?
• Does Eva come to realize why Kevin would harm other children or does she give up trying to understand?
• Do you think Kevin's parents could have prevented his act of violence?
• Do you think Kevin was born evil or was he brought up to be evil?
• Why did he make use of a bow and an arrow to commit his heinous crime?
• Why do you think that he didn't choose his mother as one of his victims?
• Has Eva forgiven Kevin at the end of the film?
• Should Kevin be tried as an adult and sentenced to life imprisonment? What about to death penalty?
• Eva sees herself as a bad mother, was she one? 

 

Deadline: Sunday 13th January
