"The next letter is F. And it's for Religious environment. And it is going to follow the same suit of everything we've talked about so far. We're digging for clues about the character. What was their religious background? Did they come from a religious family? Did they go to Church every Sunday? Were they conservative? Were they Baptist? Were they atheist? What was their religious environment? Now see in my example play the religious environment is a huge, huge portion of my play. So in my play analysis religious environment is 2 pages long. Where I have pulled all the quotes about religion that the character says about it, that the other characters say about it. My political section has 3 quotes in it. So every play is going to be different. For me, section F in my analysis is the biggest. Religion. For you one of your other sections might be bigger."
