Concept Statements and Ideas
August 26th, 2009 by rstrick“The hierarchical and competitive nature of the masculine ideal”
3 men dueling to the death for masculine supremacy. Each of the duelist is representative of the alpha, beta, and omega status seen among males in social animals.
The protagonist, the omega male, feeling weak and insecure in his rank (and manhood) seeks to assassinate both the beta and alpha male to “become a man”.
Throughout these two seperate duels, he confronts his weaknesses (such as childishness and emotion) and must overcome them to become the perfect, unfeeling alpha male.
Intended to be parody of the “assassins killing their way to the top” action sub-genre and planned to be highly experimental in both narrative and form.
