Characterization
Proposal for literary analysis: analysis of the characters in this article proposes an approach to analyze the characters in a literary narrative in written form. We must, first, determine which is the protagonist (or actors) of the work and what are the secondary characters. It can also be taken into account if there is an antagonist, and appear different types of characters, for example: round (with several facets, with many features or qualities, complexes, complete), drawings (characters type, archetype or prototype; with a single feature, without complexity; are built around an idea or a single passion) and functional (those who do not are characterized). 1 Character analysis of the protagonist of a work can be done, as well as the analysis of other topics, in different ways. We suggest the following schema. Each sub-theme should be done in a paragraph and all the ideas must be supported. 1.1 Physical characterization to physically describe the protagonist according to the features that the author gives us through the work if there is no physical description in the work, must build a description based on the actions and way of being of the character. We must sustain our judgments.
1.2 Characterization psychological is the spiritual, moral, psychological; description feelings, passions, values, etc. are taken into account Each attribute must be supported by actions or way of being or think of the character. 1.3 Actions briefly narrated the actions that the character performs. To develop this topic, respond to the question: what did you do? We consider above all the central action and based on that action we analyze the issues remaining: motives, purposes, means and consequences. 1.4 Reasons or moving the reasons are causes, forces or springs that drive a character to act. The reasons that determine the behavior of a character are varied and complex. They include aspects biological, philosophical, psychological, spiritual, emotional and rational; factors pertaining to the physical or social environment, even as remote as the destination and external forces.
