Look over the character map above. Draw lines in between connected characters with their relationship. For instance: Duke Orsino -in love with-> Olivia Malvolio -works for-> Olivia There are two main focuses for characters: their Objective and Obstacle. These are the driving forces of all plays (and stories). Characters want something (their Objective) and there is something in their way (their Obstacle). Without these two forces there is no action, purpose or drama to a story. We'll use Flipgrid to have a conversation about characters Objectives and Obstacles.
