Plot Diagram - Table

Theme A difficult situation of a girl being pulled left

and right between her mother’s wishes for her
to be a violin prodigy and her father’s attempt
to help her branch out for a social life, which
ultimately results in the murder of her
therapist.

Setting A rich province in Manchester, England, 21st

century

Exposition Scarlett never liked going to school. Bearing

the side glances and hushed whispers of all
her classmates around her was almost too
difficult for her to do, but at least she could
avoid her mom’s suffocating grasp for a
couple hours a day. “Maybe she’s in a better
mood today”, she thought to herself on the
limousine-ride home, but she highly doubted
it. Scarlett had to live through one of the
biggest fights her mom and dad have had in a
long time. She comes back home to find her
mom frustrated, leaning on the counter as she
rubs her head with her index and thumb. “My
mom doesn’t allow me to leave the house if I
haven’t done my violin practice for the day”,
her mother recalled in an exasperated sigh.
Here we go again.

grows up with her dad as she continues to
explore her passions.
