George Bernard Shaw Quotes
That is the injustice of a woman's lot. A woman has to bring up her children; and that means to restrain them, to deny them things they want, to set them tasks, to punish them when they do wrong, to do all the unpleasant things. And then the father, who has nothing to do but pet them and spoil them, comes in when all her work is done and steals their affection from her.George Bernard Shaw

Plots may be simple or complex, but suspense, and climactic progress from one incident to another, are essential.
