Character: Kathrin
What is she going through : She has to decide whether she wants to choose to stay with Kevin or let her Father go bankrupt and lose his mind.
"Do I have a choice? I am asked to sacrifice who I am as If I have no identity of my own. Like in ancient times.. People sacrificed someone from the village to save themselves from the wrath of Gods.. I, Kathrin am sacrificed at the altar.
I will be married day after to someone my father owes money too..
Do I have to do this? Why should I go through with this. Isn't caring for the child and their well being a parent's duty.. Why then it is my duty to save them in the time of crisis?
I am a child too.. I believe last autumn my mother said.. 'Oh, You won't understand it.. you are just a child.. '
Wooo.. the child has turned savior in a matter of months..
Is life a series of conveniences that everyone puts on everyone else..
My family needs me.. to save them from poverty..
save my siblings from homelessness..
save my father's fall from grace..
I am expected to heal his failing heart by marrying a stranger..
He did promise a pound of flesh to shylock but it shall be taken from his child's heart this time..
What will I tell Kevin???
My promises of forever that I made on my fifteenth were mere promises..
I have been betrayed by my own blood..
I have no heart to betray him.. My heart has been snatched by a stranger to keep locked as a ransom.
I will not betray him. I will meet him tomorrow.
We will plan tomorrow as if it were our last.
I will divide the day in four parts. youth, adulthood, middle age and the old..
I will be that fly who lives only for a day..
Kevin, I love and I always will.. we have one day.. and I shall perish from his life.
I don't have the heart to betray him,. so i shall live the day as my last and vanish forever as a true lover.
