It’s been a difficult week so far and thanks for being champs and hanging in there with me.
Characterization: Characterization is an important element in most stories. Analyze a well-developed main character from Frankenstein. Explain whether the author has used direct or indirect characterization to develop character. In direct characterization, the author tells us about a character — “He’s a bad man.” In indirect characterization, the writer shows what a character is like by revealing the character’s actions, thoughts, and words, and by giving us other people’s reactions to the character — “He kicks puppies.” Then explain whether the character is flat (one-dimensional, not fully developed) or round (three dimensional, like a real person). Also explain whether the character is static (stays the same, no change in personality) or dynamic (changes from _____ to _______ in personality). Support your opinion with examples from the text.
Conflict: The most important element in plot is conflict. Within Frankenstein the main character faces both internal (person vs. self) and external (person vs. person, person vs. society, person vs. environment, person vs. fate) conflicts. Discuss the major conflicts faced by the character and indicate how each conflict was resolved. Support your answer with examples from the text.
Title: A story’s title is often an important clue to understanding the text. The title may hint at theme, focus on a specific character or event, create atmosphere, establish tone, foreshadow the plot, and so on. Explain what the title reveals about the story and why the title is important for a full understanding. Support your answer with examples from the text.
