Internal Conflicts
In trying to simplify, I think I left holes in my GMC. There are so many layers to this work. Jessica feels guilty because she was so wrapped up in her depression after her divorce, she didn't spend time with her Dad before he died. Travis feels guilt because he couldn't protect her Dad. But when it comes to relationships, they are quite different.Internal Conflict
Jessica--Goal: To learn to trust others and herself.
Motive: Isolation and lonliness
Conflict: Previous dysfunctional marriage really messed with her head.
Travis--Goal: To learn to be intimate and trust someone else.
Motive: No one close to him. Lonliness.
Conflict: Cold and distant parents who turned on him in a crisis.
Basically both of them keep people at a distance in different ways. Travis is charming, social and keeps it light and on the surface. No deep feelings, no pain. He's not cold like his parents, so he thinks he's OK.
Jessica has lost confidence in her ability to have a normal relationship. She thinks men are controlling and keeps them at a distance. She uses very cold detachment to seperate herself from any man who thinks he'll control her. This frozen state extends to almost everyone except her sister and her best friend.
Is that it? Tell me what you think.
