Use the following information to help you fill out the character analysis charts. Four Main Methods of Characterization (examples taken from Winter Dreams by F. Scott Fitzgerald) Narrators direct comments about the character Example: Whatever Judy wanted, she went after with the full pressure of her charm. She simply made men conscious to the highest degree of her physical loveliness This directly states that Judy used her beauty and charm to get what she wanted. Characters physical description Example: She wore a blue gingham dress, rimmed at throat and shoulders with a white edging that accentuated her tan She was arrestingly beautiful. The color in her cheeks was centered like the color in a picture it was not a high color, but a sort of fluctuating and feverish warmth. The reader can infer that she is beautiful and that she dresses in a way that shows off her best features. The feverish warmth in her cheeks suggests that she might have an energetic and intense personality. The characters own actions, words, thoughts, and feelings. After Judy Jones (of Winter Dreams) tries to revive the romance between herself and Dexter, she cries and says, Im more beautiful than anybody else, why cant I be happy? Judys idea that being the most beautiful should mean she is happy implies that Judy thinks beauty is the key to happiness. When she cries, it suggests that she isnt used to being rejected, again because her beauty has always gotten her whatever she wants. The actions, words, thoughts and feelings of other characters. In the story, Mr. Sandwood says about Judy: My God, shes good-looking! To which Mr. Hedrick replies: Good looking! She always looks as if she wanted to be kissed! Turning those big cow-eyes on every calf in town! These words confirm that Judy is indeed beautiful. When Hedrick mentions Judy turning those eyes on people, the reader again sees how she uses her beauty to manipulate others. Fill out the following charts on each character. Be sure to fill out at least four items on each character.
