Vernon Is The Most Complex Character *Spoilers*


We're eventually given background information about each of the characters of the students. We're never really given much, if any, background on Vernon. This movie is a psychological study and Vernon definitely has issues.

Vernon's character may be the most authentic. I had a few teachers that were Vernon's in HS.

I picture him as divorced (wife left him) living in a small apartment, not much of a social life, if any. Has 2 kids in their teens that he has a strained relationship with and doesn't see much. Which adds to his attitude.

Was it the janitor that said Vernon won't be missed when he dies? Damn, that's harsh.
