The Martians Claim Canada Network

In the short story, The Martians Claim Canada by Margaret Atwood (the author behind the acclaimed novels Alias Grace and The Handmaid’s Tale), there are only four central characters: three martians who get lost in Canada on the way to see a musical in New York, and a talking mushroom that helps them along the way.  Since there are only these four characters and no scene changes, I decided to make my network be the interactions between characters, which resulted in a square like shape since all the characters spoke to each other. This illuminates that all the characters do know each other.  Ideally I would have liked to have separate edges to denote different conversations and responses, but I was not able to do so.
