Character Objectives

A character has objectives for whole play like how Hamlet wants to find closer for his farthers death but in a particular scene it maybe to convice the performers to produce the play "The mouse trap". Especially in Hamlet certain lines has objectives which are carefully thought about by Hamlet and why he can use his double meanings to make the truth come out and confuse others.

Cara has two main objectives for the play the first is to find closer after her mothers death and also to protect Penny from their father. Which is why I think Penny really wants custody so she can check that Penny is safe and doesn't get hurt like Cara did when she was young. In the scene that the monolgue is taken from, she has gone to her mums grave to say goodbye becuse she wasn't woken up to go to the funeral. Though she doesn't actually say goodbye she is trying to let her mum know how she really feels and to numb her guilt about not saying goodbye when she had the chance. Their is a part in the script when she says that Stanley think dad's going to try and take Penny after being worried and hopeing that he can't do that. She takes a pause, puts on a stern face and swears that she would have to be dead for him to get custody. Which shows how determined she is, that she would die to protect Penny.
