What is Close Proximity vs Forced Proximity ?
Close: an umbrella term for circumstances throw characters together in voluntary way. Such as co-workers, neighbors, roommates. Outside circumstances can cause them to be “close” but is not needed. ie: work project, subletting.
Forced: “Forced Proximity,” though identified as a trope in its own right, is really an umbrella term for any plot point that forces the two main characters to spend time together (whether they want to or not)
