Diana in the Docks

Diana In the Dock does privacy matter? Diana as calld in the title is referring to the Former Princess of Wales Princess Diana. In November 1993 The reflect newspaper published photos of princess Diana while she was working out at a middle school. These photos were taken out of consent by Diana by the Gym owner Bryce Taylor who was pay over 100,000 pounds for the photos . Thus Princess Did had his assets frozen and sued him.Due to the fact Bryce Taylor was broke he seeded legal aid where he was provided with Geoffrey Robertson o defend him. Robertson describes this case through the use of a paradox in the opening paragraph Diana had been the victim of a dirty trick which provided windfall profits to undeserving the great unwashed these undeserving people being Bryce Taylor and the mirror magazine. Donnas perspective is that her privacy was breached for common greed of monetary benefits by that of Bryce Taylor.However, Ironically for Bryce Taylor benefit his legal aid, lawyer Geof frey Robertson was the tutor of a textbook that analyses and deplored that absence of any privacy law In Britain which represents to the reader Robertsons extents knowledge within the topic of privacy, Wealth Robertsons defense of Bryce Taylor he states when Diana places her self in the gym It was like working out in a shop window representing that her privacy was automatically violated and shes nonetheless been inviting It to happen.Thus puts us in a position to view Diana as someone who manipulates the Edie in order to suit her own ends. Robertson also states her relationship with the media as a Faustian bargain which refers to the story of Faust who sells his understanding to the devil in order to gain greater power. This again supports Robertsons use of the disjunction of bur In but Diana wanted privacy only when It suitable her. Nonetheless as Robertson describes Donnas relationship with the media as a Faustian bargain It shows that Diana had to sell her soul to the media in order to main good publicity and power.This is significantly covert up by Robertson use of the metaphor In the concluding paragraph In 1997 Diana was killed fleeing the flashbulbs which has Robertson positions us to see Diana as someone who seeded the attention of the media and as this back fired she tried to flee where the consequence became death. Just like that of Faust who sold his soul to the devil , regretted it and was sent to hell. Therefore Robertson believes Its her own fault for her lack of privacy.
