Things I know about my character:
- He cant have children due to a curse put onto his parents by the witch.
- The baker thinks he lost his parents in a baking accident.
- The baker has a sister that he doesn't know about (Rapunzel).
- He is in fear of the Witch due to an incident with her and his parents when they were caught stealing from her garden.
- The Bakers father is really alive and the baker meets him in the play.
The character of the Baker is very strong and it is clear to the audience that he cares for his wife a lot. In the play the baker forbids his wife from being in the woods with him, she takes this in the wrong way, as him not wanting to spend time with her. However he only wont let her as he cares so much for her and he realises what dangers are in the woods. I would assume that my character feels guilt towards his wife as he can see how much she wants a child, and he sees it as his fault for her not being able to have one as the curse was put on his family, I think this is one of the reasons that he is so dedicated to finding the four items that the witch wants to be able to reverse the curse. The baker then realises in scene 3 that his wife keeps coming to the woods to help as she cares for their family as much as he does, I think from this moment on in the script the become closer and work more as a team. At the end of the play, when the baker realises that the items are not valid as the witch had been in contact with them. This makes my character feel so heart broken as he and his wife had been on such a journey to find them, then to be shot down when the finally made it.
