When researching to develop a better understanding of Delilah's motives for cheating, i came across some interesting perspectives and ideas from peoples experiences. It can be a delicate subject and there are many stories behind a cheater. From this i hope to understand what Delilah wants from cheating.
'Forbidden fruit seems so much sweeter'.
This statement really stood out to me, to consider a motive as just the temptation to do what were not supposed to? Which lets be honest is a very human urge.(http://www.helium.com/items/642382-why-women-cheat-on-their-partners)
This article talks about two different women who have cheated, both stories express there ideas why they cheated. However the ideas of neglect and a breaking down relationship just dont fit to Delilah, and her confident personality. However the first line stood out to me.
"Why I Cheated" — Women Fess Up
http://lifestyle.msn.com/relationships/articlematch.aspx?cp-documentid=8424972
In this article, women give there personal reasons and ideas as to why they cheat. It suggests some interesting concepts from lack of passion, long distance to lack of things in common, While these are all realistic reasons for a cheating woman, i personally feel its just not Delilah.
Even from my better understand of personal cheating experiences i still feel Delilah's main motive for cheating is her pure need for attention and power. As a believable person she craves male attention, and enjoys her power over men. Which she then uses to her full advantage. I think its nescessary to show this sinister side of her to fit with our idea of the Abstract world. Also i feel by doing this we'll have a bigger impact on our audience when she's left alone. We can understand her sadness more because she's lost the attention she feeds on.
