What Makes Family Drama So Addictive in Stories. - Vered Neta

Assign one primary archetype to each main family member, then give them a secondary desire that contradicts it (e.g., The Keeper wants peace but also secretly wants revenge).

Similarly, consider the sibling who stays home to care for an aging parent. They grow bitter as their siblings travel and succeed. When the traveling siblings return for Christmas, a fight erupts. The caretaker screams, "You have no idea what I've sacrificed." The traveler screams, "No one asked you to do that."
