To start I needed to get familiar with three characters from different thriller films to compare my own with. The first I am going to compare with is Annie Wilkes the lead antagonist from the thriller "Misery". To start with she appears like quite a nice loving woman, much like Greyson. As she was originally a nurse you cant help but trust her and her actions, again like Greyson and his ability to talk instead of argue within his Job.
You do however find a second side to both characters, however Annie takes much more of a physical to punish and cause "misery" to other characters unlike Greyson who by accident, hurts his Son's by taking a more active role in his job than in the raising of his children. We don't however know if Greyson had anything to do with his wife's death so we can assume at this moment in time that he only damages people emotionally. Also the fact that they are both different genders is a big difference between their characters as their every day methods and personal out look on life are very different, however both of them now are single. Both charters are also very dedicated to their way of life, Annie with keeping her head low and keeping a tidy house. and Greyson with keeping job and rasing his children.
The second character I am going to compare Greyson with is Jason Bourne, The protagonist of the Bourne series. Jason from the off is far different from Greyson, however they do both have well sought over jobs, Jason being a CIA assassin, and Greyson being IT manager. Jason is very athletic compared to Greyson but this is down to their jobs. Jason is also Single alike Greyson however Jason does not have any family or children either, removing his emotion of love. Greyson is also not a born killer unlike Jason, partially to do with understand wrong from right.
Jason does have alot of emotional similarities with Jason, They both are very scared characters from the off but both with different reasons, Jason being caught and killed, and Greyson "failing" to raise his elder son correctly. Jason also finds it difficult to trust people, alike Greyson. Greyson is very wary about his image so uses his proffession as a way to build respect in his community for him, this however still doesn't allow him to trust people easily. The one big emotion Jason lacks however is love. This is the one emotion that separates the both the characters. Jason dosent have any "love" attachments with any friends, partners or family's, However Greyson has made very strong bonds with both sons, even though he does not get along with one of them, this is what makes him so upset.
The final character I will compare with Greyson is Dr Malcom Crowe, the doctor from the highly successful thriller the sixth sense. Malcom is a very loving character of his wife and his job is to help other, unlike Malcom though, Greyson at times buys the love of his children through gifts, however this only works with peter due to Sebastian being brought up with more discipline from his mother. Malcom has a loving wife he lives with who appears to have a stable and strong relationship with , Greyson on the other hand only has two children to his name.
Neither Malcom nore Gresyson would kill anyone as they both have high moral grounds. they both seek to help one another and are both unathletic. To conclude, Greyson out of the three characters appears to act, have the same emotional status and life style as Malcom Crowe, however they do have some background traites that are different making them both very unique.
