How to write a character sketch

There are two effective ways of arranging your character sketch. One of them is naming the qualities of a character first and then supporting your opinion with the evidence from the text. The other one is analyzing a character’s behaviour in certain circumstances and deducing his/her traits of character. While making a character sketch you should try to find answers to the following questions:

· Who are the main characters? Are they like real people?

· Do they remind you of certain types of people? Which are the most interesting? Why?

· Does the character seem to develop and change as the story progresses, or does he/she remain about the same from beginning to end?

· What are the strengths and weaknesses of the character under study? What incidents from the text can you cite to support your conclusions?

· To what extent does the personality of the character determine his/her success or failure?

· What character did you like most and which did you dislike?

· With which ones did it make a difference to you whether they were happy or not? Why?

· Which ones helped you to understand people a little better than before?

· How well does the author seem to know people and what “makes them tick”?
