change?: He doesnât. Outright refuses to.
What major changes do you see?Â
Not much in particular. The most striking would be, that while Max had had the will to change at the start, he seems to have lost this, too.Â
Did you role go through development? If yes, was it good or bad? If no, why?Â
There is not much development that Max went through. Max stubbornly refused change, stood his ground and refused to allow anyone to get enough to him to grow. His year, from his point of view, had been fun, had not had a moment of boredom or of doing anything he did not want to, but in truth was stale, even if he is yet to recognise it. If he ever will.
It may seem as though Max has let go of his chains, has accepted that an inheritance is not everything, that there are more important things in life - but this isnâs true. Max has just stopped caring. Max has stopped thinking about the future and what it will bring, and his chains bind him more tightly than ever, especially when he finds out what it means, that he has failed.Â
Do you think their future is now open, or certain?Â
His future is uncertain. Open connotes some sort of positivity. Maxâs future is neither certain nor open.Â
Will they be happier now?Â
Max has borrowed all the happiness of his future, and is bound to default soon.
How do you think will their character arch close after you tell them goodbye?Â
Depending on the actions of his parents and his sisters, neither of which he had ever been grateful towards, or shown the slightest bit of fondness for, he will have to adjust. Max does not know how to deal with change, and beyond that refuses to. Heâs prideful, in his own way, but his pride is not enough to drive him. He will trudge through life or breeze through it without ever really having done anything, and it will remain meaningless to him until the moment that he finds his raison d'ĂȘtre, his driving force, if he ever does. Introspection is not his strong point, and it is unlikely this is a point he will reach by himself.Â
