Molly is a character that suffers greatly with mental illness and feels that the whole world is out to get her, so she lashes out using any weapon she can. In our thriller you can see that she'll extremely distressed and that she tries several ways to get out of the situation. At first she appears somewhat innocent as she tries to fight off memories from her past that she tries desperately to suppress When she gets no sympathy from this, she uses the knife and the life of her companion to threaten them. But non of her obvious ideas work. However, when she says the words, 'we leapt and we landed in the fresh fallen snow' Mike is deeply hurt by this. Although in the sequence the significance of this line isn't completely established, it's a link that would later on in the film allow a plot twist to occur which after our study we found our target audience enjoy. If we were to continue our thriller into a feature film then the audience would find out it's true significance and why it effects Mike so deeply. On the surface, it effects Mike because it was the name of the book that he used to be read when he was a child but as he grew older it became associated with something much darker that Molly has found out and will use to her advantage against Mike.
