How I Met My Husband
Question #7
Alice Kelling is important in advancing the plot because had she not shown up the story could have gone in a different direction. Chris Watters showed no signs of planning to leave before her arrival. Theoretically, had he not been in such a hurry to get away from her, he could have fallen for Edie and she never would have met the mailman. I believe she could be described as the antagonist because she opposes Edie in her pursuit of Chris. Even when she looks at Edie, she thinks that she is after her fiance. As the antagonist, she is indirectly and unknowingly successful at keeping Edie away from her husband. Wherever Alice is, Chris does not want to be, even if it's close to Edie. Her arrival and Chris' impending departure may even have been what led to Chris and Edie kissing. And had Chris not left and promised to write to Edie, she would have never grown so close to the mailman.
