Character Backgrounds and Potential Motives for Kidnapping Pastor Green
Professor Prune:
Professor Prune was a distinguished English professor for over 30 years and
attended Pastor Green’s church the whole time. One particular thing about
Pastor Green’s preaching really bugged Professor Prune, alliteration. Every
sermon had to be alliterated and it continued to make the Professor mad.
Finally, he had had enough.
Mrs. Pheasant:
Mrs. Pheasant, an accomplished pianist and musician, had composed many
pieces of music. She composed one piece to be used for special music in
church, but before she could have it published, Pastor Green stole it and
put it under his name. She was very upset.
Bubba:
Bubba is the mechanic used by Pastor Green for a lot of his cars and the
church’s vehicles. Bubba thinks Pastor Green has begun a conspiracy to rip
him off. He did not like Pastor Green one bit.
Colonel Musket:
Pastor Green constantly talked about some sort of army. He called it
the Lord’s army. The Colonel was tired of hearing it. To make matters worse,
Pastor let it slip that that he had voted for Al Gore in the Presidential
primary. The Colonel, being a good army man, was outraged.
Miss Snow:
Miss Snow was in love with one of Pastor Green’s sons. But Pastor would not
let her near any of them. She became furious.
The Cook:
Ben, the cook loved to make dinners for the social activities of the church.
For a while he had a good relationship with Pastor Green. Then one day,
Pastor Green made fun of one of the meals that Ben had cooked. He was
totally embarrassed. Ben was also known for a violent temper.
The Chauffeur:
Shawn, the chauffeur, is an avid golf nut. He has never really been too fond
of Pastor Green. They both ended up in a golf tournament together. Pastor
Green beat Shawn by one stroke and received a set of golf clubs. Shawn got a
divot replacer. Shawn was livid.
Miss Spears:
Miss Spears came to the church nearly 10 years ago. She is rather an
insecure woman and feels when Pastor Green preaches that his sermons are
directed at her and nobody else. She is frankly tired of it and has
complained to the deacons but to no avail.
Mr. Brown:
Mr. Brown owns a pizza parlor in town and is a faithful member of Pastor
Green’s church. He has become sick and tired of the baseball diamond
illustration that Pastor Green uses at least once a month. He has complained
about its use (mostly because he never liked baseball to begin with) but
Pastor still continues to use it. Mr. Brown is used to his orders being
carried out and is not happy at all.
The Gardener:
Grace, the Gardener, has been planting flowers and beautifying the church
for over 20 years. Pastor Green not only has not shown appreciation at all
for her hard work, but now is insisting that she pay for the flowers with
her own money. She doesn’t know what to do. |
