Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

At the start of Blood Brothers, Mrs Johnstone agrees to give one of her twin sons to Mrs Lyons. What is Mrs Johnstone's main reason for agreeing to this arrangement?

  1. She cannot afford to raise both children
  2. She wants her son to have a father figure
  3. She does not want twin boys in the house
  4. Mrs Lyons threatens to call the police
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A — She cannot afford to raise both children
Mrs Johnstone is struggling financially — she is already in debt, has many children, and her husband has left her. Mrs Lyons exploits this vulnerability by offering the child a better material life. Mrs Johnstone does not dislike twin boys specifically, nor is she threatened with police action. While the absence of a father is a pressure, it is poverty rather than the desire for a father figure that drives her decision.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 2/3

What role does the Narrator play in the structure of Blood Brothers?

  1. He is a Greek chorus figure who comments on and foreshadows events
  2. He represents the voice of the working class community
  3. He is revealed at the end to be the twins' biological father
  4. He acts as a friend and confidant to Mickey throughout
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A — He is a Greek chorus figure who comments on and foreshadows events
The Narrator functions like a Greek chorus, standing outside the action to comment on events, address the audience directly, and foreshadow the tragic ending. He is not a friend to Mickey — he remains detached and somewhat menacing. He represents fate or social forces rather than the working class specifically. There is no revelation that he is the twins' father; this is a common misconception.
