This post is split into four parts for easy navigation:
- What is a Character Analysis Essay?
- What is the best Format to Use?
- 11 Character Analysis Example Ideas
- Template, Checklist and Outline for Your own Piece
In this post, I’m going to explain to you clearly and in a step-by-step way how to conduct a character analysis.
1. What is a Character Analysis Essay?
Let’s get you started with some really simple details about what a character analysis is:
- A Quick Definition: A character analysis essay zooms-in on a character in a book, movie or even real life. It provides what we sometimes call a ‘sketch’ of a character.
- The Purpose of a Character Analysis: The purpose of a character analysis is to reveal interesting details about the character that might contain a broader moral message about the human condition. For example, Atticus Finch is not just a lawyer in To Kill a Mockingbird. Rather, he provides us with a moral message about the importance of doing what you believe is right even though you know you will likely fail.
2. What is the best Character Analysis Essay Format?
Character analysis essays do not have just one format.
However, let me offer some advice that might act as a character analysis essay outline or ‘checklist’ of possible things you could discuss:
1. Start with the Simple Details.
You can start a character analysis by providing a simple, clear description of who your character is. Look at some basic identity traits such as:
- Race (if relevant)
- Social class (if relevant)
- Protagonist or Antagonist? A protagonist is the character who is our central character in the plot; the antagonist is often the protagonist’s opponent or challenger.
- Major or minor character?
2. What are the character’s distinctive personality features?
Your character might have some really clearly identifiable character traits. It’s best to highlight in your character analysis the exact traits that this character possesses. Some common character traits include:
I recommend you take a moment to write down what you think the top 3 to 5 words are that you’d use to explain your character’s personality traits. These will be important to discuss throughout your character analysis.
Sometimes a character may start out with some personality traits, but change over the course of the text. This is quite common; and one clear example of this is Lady Macbeth she deteriorates from a cutthroat power player to a guilt ridden shell of a person roaming the halls of the castle. This dramatic character change is something that makes her very interesting, and is worthy of discussion!
3. What are the character’s key relationships?
Does your character have a close relationship with a certain person in the storyline?
You might want to discuss the character’s relationships as a part of your character analysis. These relationships may reveal some key personality traits of your character.
For example, in Shakespeare’s play Hamlet, Horatio is the loyal offsider to Hamlet. Through his actions in staying by Hamlet through thick and thin, we learn that he is a deeply loyal character.
Examining the character’s relationships with their friends and foes therefore is very useful for digging deeper into who this character actually is, and what personality traits they have when they are put to the test within the narrative.
4. What are the character’s motivations?
Another thing you might want to examine are the character’s motivations . What do they desire most in the world? Some common motivations for characters in stories are:
- A simple life
- To serve others
This list really could be endless, but I hope the above examples give you a bit of an idea of the sorts of traits to look out for. By mentioning and examining the motivations of the character, we will come closer and closer to learning exactly what moral message this character might be able to tell us.
5. What are the character’s key conflicts?
Stories tend to have a beginning, a complication, and a resolution.
The complication involves conflicts and challenges that need to be overcome. For Edmund in Narnia, it’s cowardice. For Romeo and Juliet, it’s the conflict between love and family loyalty. Here’s some other common conflicts for characters:
- Whether to stay loyal to a friend;
- To overcome obstacles to love;
- To seek a way out of a challenging situation;
- To escape war or poverty;
- To persevere through imprisonment;
- To overcome personal fear
Again, this list is endless.
Knowing the character’s core conflict gets us even closer to knowing the moral that the character is trying to teach us.
For example, in Romeo and Juliet, the challenge of Romeo and Juliet being together despite their families’ objections teaches us something. Personally, I believe it teaches us the importance of letting go of old grudges in order to let love bloom.
This moral lesson was taught to us through conflict: namely, the conflict that Romeo and Juliet were right in the center of.
6. What are the character’s epiphanies?
Sometimes a character has an epiphany. This often happens towards the end of the story and helps the character overcome the challenge or conflict that we discussed in the point above.
Here’s an example of an epiphany:
- In the Lion King, Simba runs away from his tribe to live in exile. After a chance encounter with his childhood friend Nala, he has an epiphany that he has a duty to his tribe. This leads him back home to fight Scar and return freedom to Pride Rock.
Not all characters have an epiphany. But, if they do, I strongly encourage you to write about it in your character analysis.
7. Examine the moral message the character teaches us.
Finally, conclude by examining the moral message behind the character. Nearly every character has something to teach the reader. Authors put a lot of thought into creating complex characters with whom we can relate. We relate to the character and say “wow, they taught me a lesson about something!”
The lesson might be something like:
- Money doesn’t buy happiness;
- Loyalty to family comes above all else;
- Love gives life meaning;
- Honesty is always the best policy
This is the core of your character analysis essay. If you can pick out exactly what moral message the character teaches you, you’ll be well on your way to writing a strong character analysis.
Below I’m going to give you some examples to help you out. I know it can be hard to really get your head around a character, so sometimes the best thing is to look at some samples!
3. Here’s 13 Example Character Analysis Essay Ideas.
Most times when we create a character analysis, we’re exploring the deeper moral stories / aspects of humanity. Here’s some example ideas. I’ve tried to outline in less than a paragraph exactly what your key point will be about each character:
- Atticus Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird: A character who teaches us a lesson about standing up for what’s right, even if you know you’re likely to lose.
- Huckleberry Finn from Huckleberry Finn: A character who reveals our inner desire for freedom from the elements of society that constrain us.
- Dudley from Harry Potter: A character whose personality tells us a cautionary tale of the perils of middle-class narcissism, parents’ desire to wrap their children in cotton wool, and the lack of discipline we perceive in contemporary childhoods.
- Jack from Lord of the Flies: A character who represents the innate desire for power that seems to lurk not too far from the surface of the human condition. When social structures are stripped away, he quickly reverts to violence and superstition to assert control over his peers.
- Lady Macbeth from Macbeth: Lady Macbeth teaches us a valuable lesson about the perils of contravening our own morality. She starts out a cutthroat killer but is increasingly consumed by the guilt of her own actions. While we may be able to escape full punishment from outside forces, it is the inner guilt that might eat us away to our last.
- The Boy who Cried Wolf: The boy who cried wolf is a character whose fatal flaw is his desire for attention and adulation. His repeated attempts at gaining the attention of others leads the townspeople to no longer take him seriously, which causes him harm when he actually needs the villagers to take him seriously to save his life. He teaches us the virtue of honest and humility.
- Nick Carraway from the Great Gatsby: Nick shows us all the inner conflict between the trappings of wealth, glamor and spectacle; and the desire for simplicity, honesty and community. He is drawn by the dazzling world of East Egg, New York, but by the end of the novel sees live in East Egg as shallow and lacking the moral depth of his former life in small town Minnesota.
- Alice from Alice in Wonderland: In many ways, Alice represents the child within all of us. She is a character of goodwill to all and who looks upon the world (or, rather, Wonderland) with awe. Travelling with a cadre of flawed characters, she learns with them the importance of seeking strength from within.
- The Nurse in Romeo and Juliet: Like many Shakespearian characters, the nurse’s role is both as loyal confidante to a central character and comic relief. Shakespeare uses minor characters to regale his crowd and sustain viewer interest between scenes.
- Lucy in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe: Lucy represents a surprising character whose youthfulness and small stature make her an underrated character by all around her. Nonetheless, she possesses within the bravery and loyalty necessary to carry out the quest for Aslan. Lucy represents the goodness in children and, by extension, all of mankind.
- Anne in Anne of Green Gables: Anne occupies the typical literary role of young girls in many classical novels: she represents innocence and wonder, and her contraventions of rules are seen through a prism of childhood innocence. This frames Anne not as a deviant but as a precious soul.
- Simba from The Lion King: Simba’s story follows his struggle with growing up, embracing his destiny and duty to his family, or fleeing towards freedom and a ‘no worries’ lifestyle. Simba flees Pride Rock and goes through an existential crisis with his existentialist friends Timon and Pumba. When he runs into an old childhood friend, he realizes how shallow his new carefree life has become and reflects upon his obligation to his community back home.
- Woody from Toy Story: Woody starts out Andy’s favorite toy, but when Andy gets a new flashier toy, Woody’s status amongst the toys falls apart. Woody’s key character challenge is to learn to be humble and inclusive living within the group. By the end of the movie, Woody realizes his duty to love and serve Andy is more important than his own status within the group.
4. Here’s an Example Template for your own Character Analysis Essay
Feel free to use this brainstorming template to get you started with your character analysis essay. I recommend filling out as many of these key points as you can, but remember sometimes you might have to skip some of these points if they’re not relevant to your character.
Once you’ve brainstormed the ideas in Table 1, follow the character analysis essay outline in Table 2 to stay on track for your character analysis essay. Do remember though that each assignment will be different and you should adjust it based on your teacher’s requirements.
Here’s Table 1, which is a brainstorming template for your character analysis essay:
| Question | Your Thoughts |
|---|---|
| 1. What is the character’s: · Age · Gender · Race · Social Class | |
| 2. What sort of character are they: · A protagonist · An antagonist · Major character · Minor character | |
| 3. What are the character’s major personality traits? Try to come up with five. Here are some examples: · Loyalty · greed · honesty · dishonesty · fearful | |
| 4. What are the character’s key relationships to other characters? Here are some examples: · Best friend to the protagonist · love interest · daughter · heir apparent · mother | |
| 5. What are the character’s motivations? Some examples: · Love · power · revenge · greed | |
| 6. What conflicts or challenges does the character face? Some examples: · Overcoming loss · learning a lesson · defeating an adversity · passing a test · completing a quest | |
| 7. What epiphanies and / or moral message does the character teach us? Some examples: · Money doesn’t buy happiness · power corrupts · love conquers all · do not lie |
And here’s Table 2, which is an example character analysis essay outline. This is for a 1500 word character analysis essay. Change the word count according to how long your essay should be:
| Explain: · Who the character is; · What text they are from; · What you are going to discuss (See also my post on writing ) | |
| Show: · What the character’s key personality traits are; · Scenes / chapters where the character’s traits are revealed; · How / if the character’s personality traits change throughout the story | |
| Show: · The character’s motivations; · The character’s central conflicts and challenges | |
| Show: · If the character has an epiphany; · What moral messages the character can teach us | |
| (150 words) | Summarize: · The character’s personality; · The character’s role in the story; · The character’s moral message (See also my post on ) |

Character analyses can be really tough. You need to know your character really well. You might even need to re-read (or watch) your book or movie a few times over to get to know the character really well.
I recommend when you re-read or re-watch the text before you write your character analysis, have the checklist I provided above handy and take notes. Then, use the essay outline I provided above to put all of those notes together into a clear and thorough final character analysis essay.

How to Write a Character Analysis — Tips and Techniques
A great story is often, if not always, synonymous with great characters. Crafting great characters is not an easy feat. So it’s no wonder that readers and writers alike gravitate toward the best characters in storytelling. Analyzing characters can be incredibly helpful for crafting your own characters or simply understanding your favorite story more deeply. In this article, we’ll dive into how to write a character analysis by asking the right questions, analyzing characterization, and retaining curiosity throughout the process.
How to Write a Character Analysis
First, let’s define character analysis.
Before we dive into the details of how to write a great character analysis let’s make sure we on the same page by looking at the character analysis definition.
CHARACTER ANALYSIS DEFINITION
What is a character analysis.
A character analysis is a written body of work that analyzes the qualities and traits of a specific character. These characters are primarily from literary works, but can also be from cinema and television. The purpose of a character analysis is to dissect the various intricacies of a character and their role within a story. A character analysis should focus on the quality and function of a character in a story rather than on personal opinions on how the writer might feel about the character. A character analysis should dissect various types of characterization from the writer of the character to form a well-rounded analysis.
Example character analysis types:
Protagonist.
First and foremost, it’s important to identify the type of character you're writing about. To identify the character type of your analysis here are two questions that are important to address: What is their function in the story? And how do they change or not change throughout the story?
How to Do a Character Analysis
Determine the character’s function.
A character’s function in a story is incredibly important to understand because it gives context as to why the writer made specific choices around the character such as their goals, behavior, and even outward appearance.
Depending on a character’s function in the story they will fall under one of the following types: protagonist, antagonist, foil, or mentor.
A protagonist is a character who pushes a story forward. He or she is also the central force of the story. Here's a video where break down the main types.
What is a Protagonist • Subscribe on YouTube
Derived from the Greek words prōtos and agōnistēs, “protagonist” quite literally translates to “first actor.” In the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter is the protagonist.
An antagonist is the force of a story that the protagonist contends with; whether it be human, natural or supernatural. Every protagonist needs an antagonistic force. Here is a quick rundown on antagonists.
What is a Antagonist • Subscribe on YouTube
Derived from the Greek word agonizesthai, “antagonist” literally translates to English as “to contend with.” In the Harry Potter series, "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named" is the antagonist. Alright we’ll say it for clarity — Lord Voldemort.
A foil character is a fictional character that serves to expose something intrinsic in another character. Oftentimes, the thing that is exposed is a character folly, like cowardice or greed.
In the Harry Potter series, Draco Malfoy is often Harry’s foil.
A mentor is a character that serves a guide and/or teacher for the story’s protagonist. The mentor is an integral component of Joseph Cambell’s hero’s journey story structure .
In the Harry Potter series, Albus Dumbledore is Harry’s mentor.
Analyze the character’s development
This second question will help you write a better character analysis because it addresses whether or not your character changes or does not change over the course of the story.
Static character
A static character is a character that does not undergo any significant internal change over the course of a story. Throughout a story, a static character largely remains the same and does not grow or develop in a substantial way.
Watch our character analysis of Marty McFly and his "flat arc" for a great example of a character who doesn't change.
Dissecting a "flat" character arc • Subscribe on YouTube
Dynamic character.
A dynamic character is a character that undergoes significant internal change over the course of a story. This change can happen subtly and gradually throughout the story and can be a change for better or worse. This is a character who often learns a lesson or changes in beliefs or principles.
For a few examples that will drive home the differences between dynamic and static characters, check out this video breakdown below.
Analyzing Characters • Dynamic vs Static Characters
Understanding what a character’s function is and what their development is over time will help you determine the focus point of your character development analysis

How to Write a Proper Character Analysis
Choose a point of focus.
When learning how to write a character analysis choosing a focus point is important for creating a thoughtful, and poignant analysis. Without a solid focus, you run the risk of writing a character synopsis and regurgitating facts and details the reader already knows about the character.
To reverse engineer a focus point in your character analysis, ask yourself what the reader can learn from this character from a writer’s perspective? Is this character a complex hero ? What makes this character memorable or iconic?
In the video below, we analyze the character Anton Chigurh from No Country for Old Men and focus on what makes Chigurh the perfect antagonist.
Why Anton Chigurh is the Perfect Antagonist • Subscribe on YouTube
It can be difficult to land on the focus point of your character analysis right away. This is why it is important to first analyze the function of your character and their development throughout the story.
In this process, you will find what makes this character unique and what readers can take away from your analysis.
Analyzing characterization
Once you have your focus point, it’s time to gather evidence and support for your thesis. These pieces of support will derive from the characterization .
Characterization is the process through which an artist communicates character to an audience. In writing, characterization is achieved through dialogue, actions, and descriptions. There is both direct characterization and indirect characterization. To help you analyze these two types of characterization, let’s break them down.
Direct and Indirect Characterization • Analyzing Characters
Direct characterization.
Direct characterization is “surface level” characterization. It’s simply the overt information we’re given about a character, such as “what they look like, what their job is, and what they appear to others.” Many literary scholars describe this type of characterization as “what we’re told about a character.”
An example of this can be found in The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway. Hemingway uses direct characterization to describe the main character writing “Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated.”
Indirect characterization
Indirect characterization , on the other hand, is a subtype of characterization that’s defined by “showing” rather than “telling.” It is an important technique used by writers for developing nuanced characters. It is primarily utilized through what the character says, thinks, and does.
A common acronym for indirect characterization is “STEAL” which refers to speech, thinks, effect, action, and looks. These details often come from dialogue, goals, desires, and the history or background of the character.
An example of indirect characterization can be found in Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird . Harper writes, “First of all,’ he said, ‘if you can learn a simple trick, Scout, you’ll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view […] until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.”

Character analysis questions
As you continue to flesh out and write your character analysis you may hit some road blocks. A valuable tool to overcome these roadblocks are questions. Try to think of the character that you are analyzing as a person that actually exists that you are interviewing.
What questions would you ask them to really understand who they are? Here are a few examples of character analysis questions to get you started.
What are your values?
What is your background? How did you grow up?
How have you changed from what happened to you or through what you experienced?
Is there a lesson you learned from all of this?
While you may not be able to answer all of these questions from the characterization the author provides, it’s a great exercise to uncover what you may not have yet realized about this character.
Character analyses are not only a dive into the craft of writing and storytelling, but an analysis of psychology and experience. When analyzing a character, it’s important to wear both hats to provide an insightful, well-rounded character analysis that is unique and thoughtfully presented.

adventurous Character Analysis When you read a story, think about the characters as if they were real people. greedy fearful unhappy loving aggressive
To identify character traits, think of the following: • What does the character say and think? • What does the character do (physical • actions)? Direct presentation • How does the character look? • What do the other characters think about the character? • How does the character make you feel? Indirect presentation shy graceful
Createan SADRR chart when you read. The Name of Your Character: ________ Identify a character trait _____________ If possible, identify another character trait ________________
Read the excerpt and identify a character trait for Baboushka “Once upon a time, in a small village in Russia there lived a woman called Baboushka. Baboushka was very house-proud. She had the tidiest house in the village and the most beautiful garden. She was always cooking, scrubbing, and sweeping, polishing and painting.”
“All the villagers were out in the square talking about the bright new star that had just appeared in the sky. Everyone was very excited about the star because it brought great news. But Baboushka didn’t even notice the dazzling star she was far too busy cleaning her house.” • Let’s use an organizer
Character Name: Baboushka She feels she must always clean and is very “house-proud”. She looks very neat and clean. She is very busy and constantly cleaning. I like her. She seems like a nice lady She had the tidiest house and most beautiful garden Identify a character trait for Baboushka: ________________ Clean Hard worker If possible, identify another character trait: ________________
Did You Notice? • Character traits are descriptive adjectives. • We can describe characters using character traits that tell us the specific qualities of the character. • An author may tell us the character traits directly (direct presentation), but more often the author will show us these traits by what the character does (indirect presentation). devious protective
Classifying Characters • You may remember the terms we used to classify characters last week when discussing story elements. We can use the same terms for classifying characters in the novel. • The protagonist is the main character. • The antagonist is the character or force opposing the main character. • However, here are some new terms to help classify characters further… • Flat: characterized by one or two traits, summed up in a few sentences. • Round: complex and many-sided. • Stock: a type of flat, stereotypical figure who has occurred so often in fiction that his/her nature is immediately known (i.e. sinister villain, good sheriff, mad scientist, etc.)
Classifying Characters • Static: unchanging character from the beginning to the end. • Developing or Dynamic: undergoes a permanent change in some aspect of his/her character, personality, or outlook. • Perrine, L. (1987) Story and Structure, Toronto: Harcourt Brace Canada Ltd.
Let’s Practice! A long time ago, Nyame the god of the sky gave Ananzi the spider a huge pot which held all the wisdom of the world. Nyame told Ananzi the spider to share this wisdom with everyone he met. The pot was filled with wonderful pictures, stories, and music and many more exciting ideas. Whenever Ananzi looked in the pot he learned something new. Ananzi didn’t want to share the wisdom. “I will keep it for myself!” he thought. So Ananzi decided to hid the pot of wisdom on the top of a tall tree, where no one else could find it.
He tied a rope around the pot and then tied it around his waist. But the pot was too heavy and kept getting in Ananzi’s way. Ananzi’s son watched him climb the tree. “Tie the pot to your back” he shouted. “It will make the climb easier.” But when Ananzi got to the top he was very angry. “My son knows more than I do and I have the pot of wisdom.” he cried. Ananzi was so angry that he threw the pot away. Crash! The pot broke into hundreds of pieces. Whoosh! The wisdom flew everywhere! People found bits of wisdom and started taking it home to their friends.
Character Name: Ananzi________ Name a character trait ________________ If possible name another character trait ________________
How does understanding character traits help me understand the story?
Character Traits: • Help us understand why characters speak and act the way they do. • Help us understand what the characters think or why they have certain beliefs. • Help us understand a character’s relationships with other characters. • Help us predict what characters might do next. • Help us make inferences and to draw conclusions about events in the story.
Let’s see how knowing Ananzi’scharacter traits might help us understand the story… • Why does Ananzi want to hide the pot of knowledge? • How does Ananzi feel about his son? • What kind of relationship will Ananzi have with the people who now have bits of knowledge? • What might Ananzi do about losing the pot of knowledge? • What lesson could Ananzi learn from the events in the story?
Your turn… • Now using the SADRR chart, create a character analysis of Rachel from the story “Eleven”.

Character Analysis Essays
Without characters, there is no story. Without depth, the characters don't always contribute enough to the story, if at all. While character maps allow readers to track information about each character while reading, a character analysis lets them go deeper into the role they play in the story, the conflicts they encounter, and their traits, whether external or internal.
Writing a Character Analysis
Usually character analyses are a more in-depth assignment or short essay that require the student to think critically about one or more characters and make inferences from a careful reading of the text. It helps to have ways to visually organize the different parts of a character analysis with storyboards, graphic organizers, or with a character analysis worksheet . From there, the student can formulate their essay!
Defining the role, or function, of a character is an important first step. Are they the protagonist? The antagonist? The mentor? Do they change? Considering why a character may or may not change and how this affects character traits and conflicts is going to be important in a final analysis. You can ask students questions to guide them through the process of in depth analysis.
- What type of role does the character play in the story?
- How do they serve the story or other characters?
- Based on your initial read of the character, do they even change at all, or do they remain exactly the same as they were at the beginning?
If asked to describe the character, what sort of words would you use to describe them? Are they well educated, impulsive, or quiet? These answers contribute to the personality of the character and how they behave. They offer insight into why a character might make a certain decision, and alert us if something seems out of character. For instance, a quiet and cowardly character might suddenly make an impulsive or brave choice in the face of something. Why would they suddenly change?
- What physical traits define the character?
- How do they behave?
- Do they often fight other characters or are they overly helpful?
- How do they speak? What insight can you gain from their words?
The Conflicts
Without conflict in a story, nothing changes. Conflicts, no matter the type, spur character development in at least one, if not all, of the characters in the story. When considering conflict in regards to an analysis, consider the following:
- What conflict(s) does the character encounter?
- What type of conflict is it?
- How does the character react?
- How is the character changed (or not changed) by the conflict?
Character Maps
Character maps are a helpful tool for students to use as they're reading, although they can also be used after completing a book. In this activity, students will create a character map of the characters in the story, paying close attention to the physical attributes and the traits of both major and minor characters . They can also provide detailed information regarding the challenges the character faces, the challenges the character imposes, and the importance of the character to the plot of the story.
To scaffold or tailor this activity, teachers can change the questions, add more questions (the character map layout can be found under "Scenes" -> "Patterns"), provide the names of characters they want students to track, or let students start from scratch! Teachers may also provide the visuals for each character or let students pick their own from the Characters tab. Be sure to update the student instructions as necessary!
- What are the Character's Physical/Character Traits?
- How does this character interact with the other characters in the story?
- What challenges does this character face?
Many elements of these three main ideas will influence each other to offer further insight into a character. By creating a template for them, students will be able to keep track of the character while actively reading instead of having to comb back through when they've finished. They'll be able to easily see what connections exist between the information, and synthesize that into a comprehensive essay. Create scaffolded digital worksheets or use the spider map templates above as a starting point. You'll be surprised at what incredible things your students will find.

How to Write a Character Analysis Essay
Understand the role of the character.
Begin by defining the role of the character in the story. Determine whether they are the protagonist, antagonist, mentor, or another type of character. Consider how their role contributes to the overall story and other characters. Analyze whether the character undergoes any changes throughout the story or remains the same.
Identify and Describe the Character's Traits
Describe the character's traits by considering their personality, behavior, physical attributes, and speech. Use descriptive words to depict the character's qualities and explain how these traits shape their actions and decisions. Analyze any inconsistencies or changes in the character's behavior and examine the reasons behind them.
Explore the Conflicts Encountered by the Character
Examine the conflicts faced by the character and their significance in the story. Identify the type of conflicts, such as internal or external, and analyze how the character responds to these challenges. Assess the impact of the conflicts on the character's development and whether they undergo any transformations or remain unchanged.
Create a Character Map
Utilize a character map to visually organize information about the character. Include details about the character's physical attributes, traits, interactions with other characters, and challenges faced. Consider using pre-designed character map templates or creating a custom map to suit your analysis requirements. Adapt the questions and layout of the character map based on the specific needs of the assignment.
Synthesize the Analysis into an Essay
Take the gathered information from the character analysis and synthesize it into a comprehensive essay. Use the template or character map as a reference to maintain coherence and ensure all relevant connections and insights are included. Structure the essay with an introduction, body paragraphs discussing different aspects of the character analysis, and a conclusion that summarizes the key findings.
