At Beginner Klausner works on his sound machine. Klausner going from his house into his garden shed to work

his machine. He hears the roses cry out as they are cut. Next morning at the park, klausner swings his axe against the

tree trunk he hears along, loud terrifying sound through his machine

The Climax• When Dr.Scott arrives, Klausner makes

him wear the earphones.• Klausner swings his axe against the tree

trunk. Then, a big branch of the tree crashes down on top of the machine.

Resolution• Dr. Scott is reluctant to describe what

he heard.• Klausner then insists that the doctor

put the iodine on the two cuts on tree trunk.

Klausner • He is a mad scientist. • He obsessed by his hobby of making a

sound machine. • He is horrified his machine works and he

hears the screams of plants being cut.

Dr. ScottAs a doctor, he represents the

ordinary scientific community.He looks at things in a rational way.

Mrs. Saundersshe is an ordinary housewife who

thinks klausner is mad.She serves as a contrast to klausner.
