Notes on Character- This Blessed House

The character that I wanted to emphasize my attention was Twinkle.  Looking through the character report and re-reading the story gave me a different angle to take this story.

First, I'll begin with the physical description. Twinkle seemed to be an average size and a beautiful lady. "'Your wife's wow'". Also, the way the flowers in her hair were described gave a sense of who she was, free-spirited.

Throughout the reading I picked up on different things here and there. Like the things Twinkle would say to Sanjeev showed that she kept her way of thinking and did not let little things bother her. However, unless they are taken away. When Sanjeev threatened to get ride of the Jesus Statue outside created an outburst that was not expected of such a chipper character. But it showed her vulnerability, desire to have things go her way. Sanjeev was shocked, I can't say I was really shocked by her response. She seemed more attached to the christian objects then her husband. Maybe it was her way of replacing the things that her heart longed for from her husband by such items that gave her a hunt for treasure, and happiness in a way.

Another character observation I can make is the way she entertained the guest that came. Her main task was to make the people feel comfortable and she was very talkative. The guest seem to respond better to Twinkle then her husband did. Her husband was more judgmental of his so-called friends, that he was shocked when they brought gifts. However, Twinkle talked the guest like she has known them for years. She didn't seem to mind what people thought of her house, and took each moment and talked about it. 

Twinkles thoughts seemed to around the house and the objects she kept finding. This shows to me that if she was not the type of women to enjoy her life and make the most of it. Relax when need be, and entertain. She did not cook yet or really clean. But she did once in a blue moon. When she made that dish from the vinegar. It seemed more like she made that dish to prove to Sanjeev that she said she was going to use the vinegar and did. Once again it showed how Sanjeev was surprised about how good the dish was, showed his low expectations on people and even his wife.

Overall, these characters are complex and have so many layers just like an onion. But doesn't everyone have such layers?
