Play Analysis: Character Traits

Video Transcript

"Okay, we're ready for capital letter C, which is physical appearance and personality traits. And what you're going to do on this is, basically, look through the entire script for everything that your character, or anyone in the play, says about your character. So, if we're working on our first character, we're working on Alan, we're going to go through the play and we're going to write everything that everybody says about him. And we're actually going to write it in quotations as it is stated in the play. So you're going to have the page number that it's on. You might have a three and then you tab over and you would put in parentheses, quotations, I'm sorry, with one particular horse named Nugget he rides. Ah, that tells us something about his personality traits and his physical appearance. So you want to go through the whole play, this could be pages of things that other characters say about your character or that your character says about his or herself."
