When Maggie him to marry her, he wasn’t sure about it and seamed to be afraid of Maggie. He definitely didn’t want to marry her, even when he did marry her he was very nervous. That didn’t help Willie very much either, not being able to express himself very well, which didn’t help him very much with his social life.
ACT 2: In act 2 Willie and Maggie buy there place with the help if Mrs H, they borrowed £100 and promised to pay it back next year. They brought a cellar which they could live in but also, could be there shoe shop, Hobson thought that it would have no affect on his business at all, but soon they were taking all of his business and making him go broke. At the end of act 2 they get married which means that Willie is now quite an important person and has some power over Hobson and his family.
ACT 3: They have just got married and Maggie invites Hobson over to discuss there marriage and the, problems of him falling down the cellar and having legal action taken against him. When he arrives he is told by Maggie to stop seeking advise from her and to talk to her husband, he talks to Willie in surprise, by how much he knows about business. He then makes Hobson accept the marriage and eat there wedding cake.
ACT 4: in act 4 Willie becomes the leader of the whole family and takes Hobson’s house and business.
Hobson becomes sick and ill so Maggie has to look after him so he doesn’t die. In doing so Willie takes advantage of the situation and tells Hobson the only way that they will help him, is if Hobson gives Willie half a share in his business, Hobson did not want this but after what the doctor has said he allows this to happen. Willie becomes the leader of the family and takes a half share in the business. They sell their shop and move into Hobsons shop. He is now so confident that he even tells Hobson what they are going to call the shop.
Willie has changed the most from being told what to do and walked all over at the beginning of the book, to becoming the head of the family. He is so confident now and educated, he could even talk about business in comfort. He is now a huge member of the family and from nothing he has come a long way
