Oskar's point of view: Looking at my character (Dad)

Bearing in mind that Oskar is a 12 year old schoolboy who has not had much luck in the way of making friends, and that he seems to have an alternative viewpoint on the rest of the world, Oskar’s relationship with his Dad is not a positive one. Oskar seems to remind me of Christopher from The Curious Incident of the Dog In the Night-time, as he has some sort of social anxiety and problem reaching out to others. When researching this, I looked into Asberger's Syndrome symptoms, and referenced a few of them with Oskar's character. Using this link, http://www.webmd.com/brain/autism/mental-health-aspergers-syndrome, I found the following symptoms to relate quite well with Oskar's personality:

"Communication difficulties: People with Asperger's syndrome may not make eye contact when speaking with someone. They may have trouble using facial expressions and gestures, and understanding body language. They also tend to have problems understanding language in context and are very literal in their use of language.
Problems with social skills: Children with Asperger's syndrome generally have difficulty interacting with others and often are awkward in social situations. They generally do not make friends easily. They have difficulty initiating and maintaining conversation."

Even when encountering Eli, he has an odd approach in making the friendship, as well as Eli making it even harder with her exclamation in Act 1 Scene 6: “I can’t be friends with you.”

So when interpreting Oskar, and looking at his relationship with his father, I have written from his point of view, an angry diary extract detailing his attitude towards his Dad.

‘Dear diary,

I know I haven’t written in a while, I have been busy with my new friend Eli, although I’m not sure that she is my girlfriend anymore. But I want to write today about my Dad. He is being a bitch! He sat there playing draughts with me, like a normal father would, but then as soon as his friend shows up, he forgets I even exist. He pretends that his life is so hard, but he just drinks his ‘special drink’ with Janne all the time, without giving me any real advice on what to do about Eli. He doesn’t understand me. No one understands me. Mr Avila doesn’t really know what the other boys are like, and no one knows what my home life is like. My Dad just drinks, without caring for our game of draughts. I don’t care if Janne was “a guest”, whenever I see my Dad he is always “a guest”. I don’t want to play draughts with Janne, and I don’t even want to speak to him. Well, I’m fed up, and Dad clearly won’t worry about me anymore. I’ll never speak to him again.’

I envisage this diary entry to be written just after Act 2 Scene 6, where Janne enters the tranquil scene of draughts between Oskar and his Dad. This creates a tension between Dad and Oskar, and illustrates an underlying strain between Oskar and Janne as well. This diary entry allows Oskar to have a voice where he normally wouldn’t. I feel that someone like Oskar is likely to use a diary to do this, as he struggles with normal social skills, and would therefore voice himself through a diary, making his comments about others more private than most other characters in the production.
