Script analysis

'or little squares? That's how i used to do them. Natty used to love them. We'd go down to the bottom of the garden and we'd have a little picnic in the daises. Little Natty and me. We'd have little, tiny cups of tea out of a doll's house cup and i made sure they water was never scalding hot or anything like that. I put the knife away. That's why I wanted to do this play, because it reminded me of the picnics... the cucumber sandwiches. and when i imagine them, they're always cut into squares.' 

In this extract I think that Rose shows the love that she had for Natty when she looked after her. When analysing this script I firstly thought this due to the reference of them having picnics in the 'Daisies' as daisies symbolises love, innocence and purity. The symbolism of love I believe is how she feels for Natty and I feel it was because of this great love that Natty was killed. The symbolism of innocence and purity I believe is what Rose believes she is even after what she has done and this is also shown with a line earlier in the play: 'one day I'll be out of here and I'll tell them the truth.'. Rose even thought she is an intelligent girl who is on medication doesn't see what she has done wrong so still believe she is pure due to her psychopathic tendencies. She also could be a reference to what she is like now as her character comes across and innocent so it becomes hard to tell why she is in there.
The next part of the passage which shows how attached Rose is to Natty is how she refers to them as 'We'd' on several occasions. This is because we'd is past perfect tense as it is past tense and had together. This shows that Rose believes what her and Natty had was perfect and idyllic and that everyone should have this. This is strange for someone to think this after doing something horrific however this is what she liked about spending time with Natty as it was like there own utopia and i believe she refers to it as she missed what she had before her 'good idea'.
The next reference I found interesting was how she kept referring to items as being little. I believe Horowitz made Rose do this to act as if shes trying to convince herself that she was only little and didn't understand what she was doing even though she was old enough to baby sit her. On the other hand it could also be seen as she is trying to make Natty seem fragile and small and this is why she felt she need to look after her so much that it led to her death.
The referencing to square sandwiches it as one that makes me think when looking at this extract as she refers to them more then once. I like to think of this as a trigger word for Rose as when its bought up she goes of on a tangent about her past. I believe this may be a trigger word because everything around her are in box/ square like shapes for example the institution room they are in. As squares are enclosed have no gaps i like to refer this to how she is living in a box room with no way to escape. 
The final thing in the passage that I looked at was when she talks about putting the knife down and with her saying that it makes me think about is she killed Natty on purpose. The reference to the knife makes us think also that she has always had this side to her where she is willing to do something in which will get her what she want. This is also why this could have been a crime of passion as Natty stopped her getting what she wanted which could have been being with her.
