Character Analysis:

Father

Name: Robert Connor

Age: 49

Married to eve connor

Have 2 children, Chantelle and Michelle

Occupation: Businessman,one who travels a lot too

Upper middle class

Personality: Strong-headed, authoritive, entrepreneurial, self-occupied. I am very strict with my children. Being someone successful, I have a very high expectation of them. I am busy most of the time with my work, so when I reached home, I don t have so much time to nag and scold my daughters; I leave all that to my wife. But then when there is a need, I will interrupt. I believe in harsh methods of teaching my daughters since that was how I was brought up too and judging from my success, I believe in harsh punishments to teach my daughters. I love my daughters very much, but sometimes just do not know how to express it. Being the head of the family (since I support most of the family’s financial spending), I expect everyone in the family to follow my order, and I would be the one making decisions most of the time.

Relationship with family: I am close with my wife, but towards my daughters, I always try to have this boundary, and so that they wont cross this boundary and ‘climb up to my head’. I am mostly fine towards everyone in the family, so long they obey what I say and do not go against me.

Relationship with wife: We seldom argue that often. Having married for the past 22 years, we have faced the ups and downs. I think that through these, it has bonded us even closer. I always share my problems with my wife, as she understand me most. We share the same ultimate goal for our 2 daughters, which is for them to grow into 2 successful people.

Relationship with Chantelle: I agrees to what she does most of the time, because I believe in her. She always meet up to my expectations and she never fails to impress me with his outstanding achievements and good grades. She always listen to me and dare not go against what I say. If I need help on my work, I would ask her for help because I trust her more than Michelle. And yes, she has the same passion as me, which is to be a successful entrepreneur which is why I like her more than Michelle.

Relationship with Michelle: I hate her when she rebut me. She should know that I provide her with food money shelter everything and she is not doing her best to impress me. She has done so poorly in school! I never talk to her that much unless regarding her schoolwork. She always make me worried. And yes, because she always go against what I say, it really drive me up the wall sometimes. She is being too ambitious, she wants to be an artist!! She knows that one of her parents is a lawyer, the other a businessman, and how can she say she wants to be an ARTIST!!! I have enough of her nonsense behavior!

History: I was born to a successful family when I was young, and my parents treated harshly on me. But then when I was 10 years old, my father’s business collapsed. We had to move to a smaller unit and could not enjoy the luxury we had before. I then decided for a change. I wanted to be even more successful than my father when he was successful. That was my dream. I took part-time job as a McDonald worker just to earn enough for my University course. I took business course. ‘I want to be a successful businessman!’ I told myself. It took 5 years for my company to establish its name to the whole world to know. Those times were hard; the journey towards a successful business was full of ups and downs. That is why I don’t give in to my daughters easily because I want them to taste the bitterness of failure and so that they can get motivated to achieve and excel even higher goals in the future. I met my beautiful wife in university. At that time, we were only dating, but it didn’t actually cross my mind that one day she will be my wife.

Goal: To pass down my business to my daughters and that I can retire peacefully.
