Make it clear what each WANTS.
And don't forget that each has a WANT and a symbiotic CO-WANT
In other words, a WANT and a NEED
In other words, a WANT and a MOTIVATION
The WANT revolves around a person, place, or thing.
The CO-WANT revolves around a person place or thing.
One character says, "I want to put up a picture of my dead mother."
Another character says. "No. There will be no pictures of her in this house."
That's WANT
Here's CO-WANT
One character says, "I want people to remember her when they are here. She was a strong woman and made us who we are. I want to keep that dignified personality alive here."
Another character says, "I want people to forget about her. She was a bitch. I want to let loose in the house and not think of her looking over my shoulder."
1) Picture of mom
2) Loose Personalities vs. dignified personalities
And the CO-WANT should suggest a relationship conflict BEYOND the protag and antag.
