INTERNAL/EXTERNAL CONFLICT

Internal

Roberto: He is a shy person, but he’s so kind and good with other people. He works in a bookstore. He is in love with Cristina, her friend, but he can’t show her his emotions because of his shyness, and a “little” detail, She is the girlfriend of his cousin, and boss, Walter.

Cristina: She is an outgoing person, very inteligent and knows things about everything. She works in the same bookstore. She has feelings for Roberto, but now she is engaged with Walter because they have started a little firm of books and they’re going to get married in three months.

Walter: He is the boss and owner of the bookstore. He is too much dedicated to his job, and isn’t the kind of person that shows emotions. He is engaged with Cristina but isn’t in love with her. He thinks that she does that’s why he is going to marry her and he feels forced to do it, and thinks that she raises his social state.

External

Marta: She’s the sister of Roberto. She knows that Roberto loves Cristina and she told her brother that if he doesn’t tell her what he feels, she will, just for the good of both. She is friend of Cristina and knows that she has feelings for Roberto, but she hasn’t told that to any of them.

Mila: She is a very regular customer of the bookstore, and she likes Roberto, and knows what Cristina feels about him, so whenever she can, put Roberto down only to separate them.

Javier: He’s the father of Walter, and the uncle of Roberto. He only wants his son to succeed in the socioeconomic way, just for himself. That’s why he, in a soft and almost subliminal way, tell Walter to marry Cristina because she comes from a good family.
