CHARACTERISTICS AND
BACKSTORY:
Sam: Our main character, late twenties, she is represented as fairly
strong on the outside but she is breaking down inside- she has
nobody there for her and no real family. She used to be a rebellious
teen but she has learnt from her mistakes and is
a completely different person to who she used to be. Sam is likely to
attempt to fight back in conflict with others yet she eventually gives
up as she is so weak.
Darren: Sly, late twenties and loves himself. He dominates Sam in
their marriage and mentally and physically abuses her. He was spoilt
in his childhood and therefore see's himself as above everyone else.
He embarrasses Sam often in front of others and threatens her daily

someone to dominate and control.
•Christine will never get over the divorce from her husband that her

and want's her out of her life.

5. CONFLICT BETWEEN OUR
CHARACTERS:
•We have a conflict between Sam and her mom
Christine as they haven't got on since Sam was a teen
even when Sam has tried to rekindle their relationship
her mom just pushes her even further away and treats
her like a piece of dirt. Sam also has an ongoing
conflict she has to deal with her husband Darren as
he mentally and physically weakens her with his words
and actions and Sam lets him walk all over her.
