Given Circumstances
Given Circumstances, is a method devised by the practitioner Stanislavski. These are the environmental and situational elements that all make up the characters life during a script, the things that we can clearly tell about a character by reading the script (EG: age, gender and nationality). This can also be influenced by the characters world conditions, and what is happening around them in there life. The characters personal situation can be taken into consideration, this would include there financial status and the people they are with. Given Circumstances help an actor understand there character during the play and what there life is like before and after the play takes place.

Dissociative Amnesia, is the loss of recall memory, this is usually due to a stressful or dramatic trauma. This is the most common out of all of the dissociative disorders. DD is known to start from a childhood event (like abuse or loss), and can gradually get worse, can lead to sudden out bursts.
Why does Lisa imagine my character of the Goat in act one in this dark way?
In act one my character of the goat has a very dark, sinister relationship with Lisa. In act one the goat comes across Lisa and wishes for blame from her, this then does not go her way and then leads to the Goat abusing Lisa without her consent. We came up with a theory that Lisa sees this goat as a dark abusive way, we linked this to Vince being very forceful in act two, and threatening Lisa with ending the relationship. Lisa could also see the Goat as an abuser as she may have had a hard time with something in her really life with abuse or people close to her not treating her right.
