Winter Dreams

Conflict is always there especially in drama. Mrs. Hoskings says in a scene you must always play your two strongest opposites. It make your character interesting. When there is undying love there must be unforgettable hate present also. This adds layers to help complete understanding of the character. This was quite clear in Scott F. Fitzgeralds Winter Dream. Dexter loved her. He loved he with all his soul even as he hated her for tearing him up and datingthe other men he still held on to the hope that she would be there for him, even as he became engaged to Irene, his heart held out for Judy ready to take her back when she came. Her opposites were more complicated she wanted to love infact she did for short periods of time but in all honesty it couldn't let him love her completely. She had to shut him out to save her freedom. She was a free spirit but a one point when she came back to him and asked him to marry her she wanted to be captured and held close. She was tired of being free. The lack of boundaries held back happiness. She was never happy and to be honest, probably never would be. Married to him and with any other poor bloke. She was just meant to drift.
