Character Role Analysis

Mrs. Travers and Grace

These two could be mother and daughter, or best friends, or sisters, or lovers (which doesn't have to include physical intimacy). In this setting they can probably best be described as friends, but why? Why are they so close? Maybe it's because they share a similar desire for independence. Or maybe it's just because they bond over muumuus and word games. Whatever the reasons, their similarities and differences characterize each other.
