Disappointment: A Senior Mise en Scene Illustration by Alexis Miller (2012)

This photograph depicts Charlotte at the moment she realizes that her life isn't turning out the way she dreamed it would. At this point in the story she is gazing out onto the waterfront in the dark realizing the decision she needs to make. The dramatic lighting highlights her despair. She was a super successful business woman living the high life before the classic female predicament fell on her. The perfect man and a potentially good husband asked her to marry him. She doesn't love him but she is feeling the pressure of her biological clock. She desperately wants a family but for all the wrong reasons. She views having children as objects to possess not ones to care for. At this moment she realizes that she will marry but it really isn't want she wants but she will just go on with it.
