Six Characters in Search of an Author (5)

Today, I continued reading Six Characters. I'm really starting to get the hang of this play, even though it took me three acts to actually get it. So, one question that has been bothering me is, wait, I understand that the characters need an author to finish their story but why won't they just shut the hell up and do what the Manager tells them to. I mean really, if you were really so eager to finish your story why would you delay it by fighting with the Manager. Well, anyways, what happened between the Step-Daughter and the Father? Did they have an affair or what? I think they did. And, I guess, that the Mother knows and she is just so mortified by it that she crys constantly during the setup of this play. I don't even really know what the point of the Mother is, she wasn't really needed through the whole thing. She was just kind of... there. Right now I am at the point of the Father fighting with the Manager and the Actors because they called the six characters reality an illusion and the Manager is starting to figure out that they are more real then he will ever be. Well, almost done, can't wait to see how it ends!
