To play with Ambiguity? (after tutorial with Sandra)

We explained to Sandra our first-stage idea. Since it's still very rough, we need to figure out more details to make our concept complete.

Snadra suggested, if we want to play with Ambiguity, we should make research first about the definition. Besides, although we want to challenge, we should keep in mind about the following:

- does it make sense?

- is it motivated?

- what are you trying to do?

- what do you want to acchieve?

- challenge doesn't mean just do something new. "Motivation is key!"

- risk: may loose the Kafka's story

After the tutorial, we sit down have a discussion again and make a list about all the ambiguity in this story.

1. Motivation for the murder
2. The relationship between Pallas and Schmar
3. The relationship between Julia and Schmar
4. Scrutiny: - Why was Pallas satisfied and why couldn't Schmar reach a conclusion?
5. Are Schmar and Wese brothers?
6. Who is Julia?
7. Why did Pallas not stop the murder?
8. Is Schmar satisfied with the result?
9. Is Schmar arrested by the policeman?

We also made research about ambiguity:
