How does Ian McEwan convey Briony in Part One of Atonement? At first glance‚ Ian McEwan presents Briony Tallis as an innocent child who simply witnessed scenes she did not understand‚ however what we can actually see‚ as the novel progresses‚ is that Briony is an attention seeking‚ self-absorbed‚ meddling child whose series of incorrect observations come to wreck Cecilia and Robbie’s lives.
