Character Analysis: Analyze one character in Fun Home and make an argument about what the character represents in the play’s greater meaning.

A character analysis is more than a character description. It considers a complex character’s motivations and how conflicts arise from those sometimes-conflicting motivations, and it also analyzes how a character’s personality and growth (or lack) help convey the ideas and themes of the work as a whole.

• Essay should be 1000-1250 words (approx 4-5 pages) – include the word count at the end of your essay – and written in MLA format, with a Works Cited page. See MLA info at: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/ . (Links to an external site.)
• You are not required to use sources, but any sources used must be documented.
• Remember this is a character analysis so use the literary terms in your analysis and not just your own personal adjectives about the character.
• always use specific passages to support your discussion since doing so offers more opportunity for close analysis.
