MORTAL ENGINES- HOW DOES REEVE MAKE AN EFFECTIVE CHARACTER WITH SHRIKE?

Reeve makes an effective character with Shrike because he is more than one side to him you see. Take this for example, you would know him to be terrifying heartless beast that roams the streets of London. But then again on the on the other hand you would find a more sensitive side to him, on the outside, a careless monster that only target in life is to kill, on the inside, is kind loving person.

I believe that shrike is a good person just misunderstood this is demonstrated when he finds Hester down at the near by shore next aside her house in air haven.”YOU CANT STAY HERE CHILD” this shows that he has a more caring side to him despite all the gore he produces tells that maybe he was a father. you would describe him as a hit man, mercenary, rather this describe who the type of person he is.

You can kind of feel sorry for him or the tiniest bit of sympathy for him because  he was once a human that loved and cared for people then turned into what is known as a stalker, weird, i know they live in the waste lands but on the other side he is still a murderer that works for the government for example.”HE HAS SENT ME TO KILL YOU!” this shows the monster he really is but why does he do this who knows.

On the other hand it might create something else Hester says that he has know feelings but if he has no feelings why does he hesitate on killing her why doesn’t he just finish the job end what she started. If he had no feelings he wouldn’t go after Hester and Tom when he left him behind but I understand why he does this.
