What was the name of Charles and Deborah's son in the film "Heavenly Creatures"?
Charles and Deborah's son in the 1994 film "Heavenly Creatures" is Diello. Charles was the imaginary monarch of Borovnia. Pauline Parker (Melanie Lynskey) occasionally adopts his identity when she is in the real world. As Charles, Pauline wrote florid love letters to Deborah (a.k.a. Juliet Hulme played by Kate Winslet) when the girls are separated by Juliet's confinement in the TB sanatorium.
Deborah is the wife of Charles. Her identity is taken exclusively by Juliet in the real world. In Pauline's visions of Borovnia, Deborah starts off as a plasticine figure with Juliet's features, but she eventually becomes a real vision of Juliet. Deborah is always dressed in romantic, flowing dresses and gowns, and she is always smiling and laughing.
Concerning Diello, he was an imaginary character created by Parker and Hulme. He was "a murderous teen-age prince who'd kill anyone who was a problem to him". According to Juliet at Port Levy, Pauline thought up the name of Diello for the son of Charles and Deborah. Diello is described by Juliet as "an uncontrollable little blighter who slaughters his nannies". In the film, Deborah (Juliet) give birth to Diello (a cushion), assisted by Charles (Pauline), who comments: "You're such an incredible woman, Deborah!"
In Pauline's visions of Borovnia, Diello is a plasticine figure. She says, "He clearly has intense, scowling features and the angry voice of a young teen who is like a svelte Orson Welles".
