Nonverbal Communication - Revenge


I watched the first episode of a show called Revenge. This show airs on ABC, but I watched it on Netflix. Based on the way they are communicating while the show is on mute, I can assume that the main character is new to the group. It seems as if there are some people who are skeptical of her and her presence in their social circle. Their nonverbal communication shows by the awkward handshakes, and strange looks. It is also clear that they are unfamiliar with her when they whisper as she walks away.  It is also clear that she knows them from her childhood, but she is up to something. These people have hurt her, but I am not sure how. The main character is out to get some of the people. It is clear that she has a personal vendetta with some characters at first glance. Others become more apparent as the show goes on. Her nonverbal communication shows when she first meets someone. She looks at them in a very serious manner. The show also gives it away when they do flashbacks of her childhood with these people involved. 

My assumptions about the show were all correct. The main character, Emily Thorn is out to get several of the characters in the show. They were involved in killing her father and now she wants revenge. Her real name is Amanda Clark and she has returned to the Hamptons in her fathers honor. The characters who had their reservations about her are correct, even though they do not realize they knew her when she was a child. 

Nonverbal communication is very important, it says a lot about people and how they really feel. I found that I may want to be more careful when meeting new people. I need to pay close attention to their nonverbal cues.

  1. Non-verbal communication is very important. Paying close attention to body language is a big part of communicating and understanding one’s message.

    This course has really taught me to how to communicate with both non verbal and verbal communication is vital in both our personal and professional lives. I have never seen the show you mentioned, but I look forward to watching it. Thanks for sharing.
