Second Lord to Duke Senior:
My character has to overcome the conflict between 'Duke Frederick' and his Lords in order to get back to living in the court. In order to do this, I believe that their group of Lords have to come across to people in a well-mannered way and always be willing to welcome others with a blessing from 'Duke Senior'.
Despite this, I believe that the rules under 'Duke Senior' do have some boundaries, as they will always protect each other which means they will be quite unsure of other characters that they meet at first.
This helps me understand more about how I will portray my character to the audience because, when meeting a stranger in the forest, I will show my defensive side, however I will later welcome them to join us. I believe that this will help my character get to their overall objective.

First Page:
First Page has to overcome the many different personalities that they come across in the 'Forest of Arden'. There could be bad personalities or good personalities, that's why my character has to get through to them in a happy and entertaining way!
Considering this character isn't in the play at all until the end, I found it difficult to work out any objectives, or even what my character wants, but because of this, I think that I have been able to develop character background through it, as I have created my own super-objective through actions, what my character says/sings, and how they react with other character. That's how I came to the conclusion that First Page's overall objective is to be happy in the 'Forest of Arden'.
I've done a lot of character research in lessons which has helped me develop my characters and I feel like I'd be able to tell their story before the events of the play even occurred. In my opinion this is important because when performing on stage, it will be much more believable for the audience, also it will help us as the actors know what we are saying and why we are saying it, rather than just reading and learning some lines, and in my opinion my group and I have done that very well thanks to the help of our director.
