Character Analysis Guide

This guide provides a comprehensive overview of how to analyze and write about characters in literature and film. It covers key concepts and techniques for Charakterisierung einer Person (characterization of a person).

Categories of Characters

The guide outlines three main types of characters:

  1. Central/Main Characters (Hauptcharaktere)
    • Most important to the story
    • Plot revolves around them
    • Example: Shrek and Princess Fiona in Shrek movies

Example: In traditional fairy tales, central characters are usually the heroes or heroines.

  1. Background Characters (Supporting Characters)

    • Play important roles but not always present
    • Not the focus of the story
    • Example: Donkey or Puss in Boots in Shrek

  2. Intermediate Characters

    • Appear briefly to keep the story moving
    • Represent short actions or ideas
    • Example: Three blind mice or gingerbread man in Shrek

Highlight: Understanding character categories is crucial for effective Figurenanalyse (character analysis) in literature and film.

Steps for Character Analysis

This section provides a detailed checklist for analyzing characters, focusing on both outward appearance and inner nature. This structured approach is essential for a thorough Charakterisierung schreiben (writing a characterization).

Outward Appearance

  1. Physical appearance (clothing, hair, eyes, body, special features)
  2. Speech patterns (dialect, friendly/rude tone, use of slang)
  3. Behavior and actions
  4. Hobbies and interests

Inner Nature

  1. Treatment of other characters
  2. Belongings and living environment
  3. Feelings and emotions
  4. Thoughts and self-perception
  5. Attitudes, beliefs, and opinions
  6. Inner motives

Highlight: Not all characters will provide information for every point on the checklist, but addressing as many as possible ensures a thoughtful characterization.

Vocabulary: Charakterisierung Aufbau (structure of characterization) refers to the systematic approach of analyzing both external and internal aspects of a character.

Advanced Characterization Techniques

This section explores different methods of characterization and provides guidance on structuring a character analysis essay.

Methods of Characterization

  1. Self-Characterization (Selbstcharakterisierung)

    • Character reveals information about themselves through speech, thoughts, actions, or interactions

  2. Third-person Characterization (Fremdcharakterisierung)

    • Information about a character is provided by other characters or through their reactions

Definition: Figurenanalyse (character analysis) involves examining both self-characterization and third-person characterization to form a complete picture of a character.

Writing the Characterization

  1. Introduction

    • Start with the character's name and a general statement
    • Explain the character's importance in the story
    • Use present tense

  2. Body

    • Provide detailed information about the character
    • Support statements with examples and quotes
    • Analyze the character's actions, motivations, and development

  3. Conclusion

    • Restate the main claim about the character
    • Offer final thoughts or personal opinion

Example: "Andy, one of the main characters and the narrator's best friend in the story 'Bread on the Water' by David Lubar, is a teenage boy."

Highlight: A well-structured character analysis follows the Charakterisierung Aufbau (characterization structure) of introduction, body, and conclusion, providing a comprehensive view of the character.
