CHARACTERIZATION – How a relationship changes during the story

I chose the relationship between Sheila and Gerald. I think the relationship between these two characters is the one that changes the most during the story. At the beginning, they are celebrating their engagement to each other and they both seem to be in love with each other. What the reader finds out later is that Gerald knew that he had cheated on Sheila, and as Sheila finds out that he had been doing this and that he had lied to her for quite a long time, she just wants to know the reasons for his behaviour. I think at the end of the story, Sheila is fine with these facts because she can understand Gerald. And I also think that it is only natural that she isn’t any longer in love with a guy who cheated on her.
