In Class Writing: Character Development

Motivation:
My character's motivation is her longing for a change in her life. She must achieve this by getting her husband (who she is speaking to) to alter his life choices that he may not be aware are affecting her.

Backstory:
My character's backstory is that she has always struggled with getting and expressing what she wants. She's been in many situations where she's wanted to speak her mind and tell people what she's feeling, but she always discouraged herself. This monologue will be her moment when she finally crosses the line and says what she wants to say without discouraging herself.

Setting:
The setting takes place underground in a tunnel/hole that she and her family had to spontaneously dig in order to save their lives. The majority of the monologue takes place in a mineral deposit.

Blocking:
I want to have subtle blocking for this monologue. I don't want to move around a lot (in terms of walking) or move my hands because it is a dramatic and heartfelt piece. I feel that if I were to move too much it would take away from the monologue and it's meaning. I want most of the movement anybody expression to be in my facial expression.
