Uncle
About the Job
The Uncle offers comedic relief to A Wicked Kindness. He appears as a drunk, rambling, half-stroke, half-oracle type that sounds like absurd nonsense to the audience. His presence blurs the line between comedy and horror in the film, and he is the physical manifestation of decay; in memory, morality, and logic. His death in the film emphasizes the emotional numbness that persists in all other characters.
