This could be the protagonist, antagonist, or any character who plays a central role in the development of the story’s plot and tension. In your analysis of the key character, be sure to compare and contrast him or her with at least one other character from the novel. Consider their behaviours and personalities, their physical and psychological selves. In your introduction, briefly introduce the author and novel and provide a concise synopsis that explores the book up to the farthest point you have read. At this stage, you should be at least half way through your novel. Make sure the introduction includes a theme based thesis statement that reveals qualities about the character and the literary devices that the author uses to shape the character. For a list of literary devices. See the attached PDF. The body of the paper should have at least three analytic paragraphs that include: 1)a clear claim about the character 2)specific and concrete evidence from the text 3)analysis of the evidence that convincingly links the evidence to the claim. Use a variety of analytic verbs: suggest, imply, highlight, reveal, symbolize, convey, emphasize, evoke, etc.
