The final assignment of a course was to analyze the relationship between the characters of the black fairy tale, so I wrote the following:
2. Among the three little pigs, the victim Jordan also came to this hotel for his own safety, and killed the little pig Sam, and also shot himself to death. Love, love, betrayal, revenge, murder and other elements. Multiple characters appear one after another, narrated from the perspectives of different characters, seemingly unrelated, but gradually intersected in the progress of the plot. Arrange the characters to appear in sequence through a multi-line narrative, and create a certain relationship between the characters in different stories.

3. Little Pig 3 Sam : Has a dual identity, a police detective on the surface and a criminal group on the back. scheming, bold and careful, and low-key. Last but not least is the detective in the Little Red Riding Hood story who investigates Nick.
victim:
Jordan and his girlfriend Beth. Jordan is the owner of a restaurant. With a successful career, he longs to have a complete family, but his girlfriend Beth refuses to have children, thinking that he cannot ensure a good living environment for the children. Bringing children to such a world is a kind of Irresponsible action. In the end, Beth overcame a psychological barrier and was about to buy a wedding ring to marry Jordan, but was accidentally shot dead by the "Three Little Pigs" who robbed the wedding ring shop. After that, Jordan's life changed completely and he was ready to avenge his girlfriend.
Secondary character : Senior police detective Renee Garcia, who is reliable and has a strong personality. She believes that her intuition is also very empathetic. She is the most reliable conscientious detective in the bureau. She wants to handle the case in a reasonable way. Dual identity killed by Sam's colleagues.
3. The main story "Candy House"
1. Younger brother Gabe : life is decadent, without perseverance and vulnerability. In a man-to-man transaction with his roommate, he had a conflict with a customer and accidentally killed each other. When his life was facing an irreversible situation, he could only find his sister Hannah .
2. Sister Hannah : She has been in the Army and just returned to New York recently. Physically and mentally traumatized, she was tortured and looked forward to rebuilding her life.

4. Secondary characters : Veteran Terry, who served in overseas battlefields with Hannah, is Hannah's closest friend and most trusted partner, always taking care of her and supporting her unconditionally.
4. The final intersection of the three story lines
At the end of the story, all the protagonists of the three stories gather in a hotel:
1. In Little Red Riding Hood, the grandmother was kidnapped by Nick and hid in a hotel room. Kayla went to rescue alone.
2. Among the three little pigs, the victim Jordan also came to this hotel for his own safety, and inadvertently caused the death of the little pig Sam.
3. In the candy house, the younger brother was imprisoned in the basement of the hotel by Katrina, the hotel manager, and the elder sister also came to rescue the younger brother, and achieved a happy ending. At the end of the story, the hotel is used as an intermediary, and the protagonists of the three groups of stories are brought together in the same place, where they intersect and influence each other. For example, the father Tim in the story of Little Red Riding Hood learned that his daughter Kayla was also in the hotel under the instructions of the "secret boss" Katrina, which mainly involved the three little pigs and the candy house story, and rushed to the rescue successfully. Maybe when the audience is watching the first episode, facing the large number of protagonists and their respective development stories, they will be a little "cloudy and foggy" and can't understand the context, but through the advancement of the three main stories, the characters can be clearly seen The seemingly complicated relationship between them is constantly reversed. For example, Katrina, the hotel manager who is gentle and watery on the surface, actually represents the ruthless underworld criminal group to grasp the development of the story, making the possibly messy story line change. be in order.
