Based on the story "A Cup of Tea" by Katherine Mansfield, the characters can be connected to their motivations as follows:

Character: Motivation

  • Rosemary: She is motivated by her desire for social status and to display her generosity and superiority.
  • The shop attendant: Is motivated by the need to sell items and possibly to cater to the expectations of customers like Rosemary.
  • Miss Smith: She is motivated by desperation and need, seeking help and connection from Rosemary.
  • Philip: He represents a more pragmatic and somewhat dismissive attitude towards the emotional and social dynamics between the other characters.

You can place them as:

  • Rosemary → Desire for social status and display of generosity
  • The shop attendant → Need to sell and cater to customers
  • Miss Smith → Desperation and need for help
  • Philip → Pragmatic and dismissive attitude
