Shakespeare Character Blog - Term 4

What do my character's want?

Second Lord to Duke Senior:
Second Lord to Duke Senior's overall objective is to deliver news and information to Duke Senior. However, they have been banished from the court, so their overall objective is to get back to the life they had before which was living in the court, although they do enjoy living in the forest where there is plenty of freedom. The Second Lord to Duke Senior wants to be in company of Duke Senior and join him in the forest and not in Duke Frederick's Clubhouse because there is more freedom within their club.
First Page:
First Page simply wants to welcome people into the 'Forest of Arden' with a song... 'Spring Time, the only pretty ring time, with a hey and a ho no ni no'.  First page wants to entertain anybody who they come across, and their overall objective I believe is to simply be happy in 'The Forest of Arden'.

How do my characters get what they want?

Second Lord to Duke Senior:
I believe that Second Lord to Duke Senior gets what they want by just supporting their main leader whom is Duke Senior. This is because if anything they'd end up in Frederick's clubhouse.
They are informative and helpful to Duke Senior ('We did my Lord...', 'I'll bring you to him straight'...)
My character is kind towards other characters and does what they command in order to get what they want.
I believe that this character is supportive of sport, because I think that it is something that represents their class, but it is also a way of escaping the reality, by playing a fun game of golf. 
First Page:
My characters objective I believe is to be happy within themselves in the forest, therefore, in order to get what they want, my character responds to other characters by singing them a cheerful song with 'Second Page', and by entertaining others.

Knowing the objectives of my character allows me to develop the choices I make for my character on stage, therefore I can get a wider image of how I'd want my characters to act and react on stage.
