From version 1 to version 6 of Love Always I am now a lot happier and confident with Mary's development as a character. In earlier versions of the script Mary was a very flat and weak character. Alot of thought went into making her not as a flat.
In the latest version of Love Always, Mary starts off as a weak and naive young character hopelessly in love and willing to please everyone. When she comes to realise that arthur probably isn't coming home she has a breakdown but is lifted up again by Frank. After this she is stronger than ever before and is not weak at all. She begins to confront Alice when she doesn't like what she's saying and then when she finds out that Franks has been hiding the letters the whole time, she confronts him and puts on a front. She no longer has break downs and gets on with her life looking after johnny. It is not until Arthur returns that we see a softer side of Mary again.
This is a much better development of a character than what we had at the beginning and I feel like mary is no longer a flat character but goes through an emotional journey throughout the story.
