 Brainstorming

Plot:

At their child’s birthday party, the mother finds out that her husband is cheating on her after they have resolved their differences for the sake of their child's important day.

 

Characters:

-        Girl Child (Grace)

Personality: Mature, Sensitive, Understanding

Why?

Her parents' constant fighting forced her to mature at an early stage. She became responsible and top of her grades just to make them happy. Whenever she feels as though her parents are about to quarrel again, she becomes rather sensitive towards her surroundings until she can get them into agreeance again.

-        Father (James)

Personality: Independence, Self-Containment, Impatient

Why?

He loves Grace dearly and wants the best for her. However, he blames her mother for putting pressure on Grace for being the best. He feels that Grace deserves everything, even if it means not consulting or ignoring his wife. For instance, he buys Grace an expensive gift after Mary overwhelms her daughter about her future.

-        Mother (Mary)

Personality: Strong, Authoritarian, Sensitive

Why?

Mary is trying to teach Grace valuable lessons and sees that James is doing this out of spite. Mary grew up in harsh conditions, so she wants the best for her daughter. She can be opinionated and requires communication in her relationship. She becomes sensitive when her husband does not confide in her opinions even when she agrees.
