The following scene in the House of Commons still gives the same information to the other of the Members of Parliament:
Picture 13 Wilberforce : “We have taken a petition calling for the abolition of the
slave trade to all the great cities of this country. It has been signed by over 390.000 people. However, this petition is not
yet complete. There is one more person who wishes to add his name.” Charles Fox signs the petition All the members
of parliament are surprised
00: 28: 26 From the dialogue above, it can be known that Charles Fox encouraged
him in passing the bill of the slaves trade abolition. He supported Wilberforce by signing the petition. From the statement, William Wilberforce can be recognized
as a hard worker, very committed, and also like usual human by what he had done for passing the slavery trade abolition bill. From the picture above, William
Wilberforce was stand up and dispersed length of paper. The Member of Parliament was shocked. Some of them were stand up but the less stay still.
7. Good Singer
The last, he was a good singer. These scene in the bedroom, shows that he had a good voice.
Picture 14 Wilberforce : “Do you remember Billy; at Cambridge I had a reputation
as something of a singer?” William Pit
: “I do remember.” Wilberforce
: “So I thing I’m going to go and sing them a song.” 00: 15: 26
Wilberforce reminded Pit that Wilber was once a singer at Cambridge. William Pit also recognized that he had a nice voice. To understand the
involvement of the main character in the Amazing Grace movie, we could see from his characteristic as follow. The Picture above describe about William Pit
that lie down because his illness, and Wilber as his best friend tried to amuse William Pit by standing near from him. They enjoyed the situation of that
moment.

Wilberforce. He would do everything to find and to make freedom. His sprit his
become more struggle in the hardest condition to have better. He is a protagonist because he is the main character in the movie. He has the conflict of the story
because the movie talks about the William’s struggle in passing the bill of the slaves trade abolition. The scene below in the House of Commons shows that he is
a protagonist:
Picture 15 Wilberforce : “We must not prohibit all political discussion of political
subject. The issue of slavery is not made any less important by the unrelated issue of war. In war or in peace, the buying
and selling of human beings is equally abhorrent” The others members clamoring, and trying to stop him
Wilberforce : “This is not a seditious statement” 01: 15: 43
The dialogue above, shows that the struggle of Wilberforce in fighting the slaves trade. At that time, there was a war between England and French. His
friend, William Pit didn’t encourage him in the debate. He just spoke alone, and the other members of parliament did not want to discuss about the slavery. The
scene shows clearly how he battles against the antagonist. The members of the House who enforced about the slavery are also antagonist. They were obscuring
Wilberforce in passing the bill of the slavery trade abolition. From the picture above, Wilber face looked hard to talk and too listened, because all people at that
moment were talk.

: “I am speaking of ….the slaves trade.” The members protesting drown out Wilberforce.
00: 45: 11 From the dialogue, the members showed that they fought against with
Wilberforce. They obscured the protagonist to reach his goal. The picture above, Wilberforce stands up, and he talked to the Member of Parliaments and he gave
