Wed 25/5: Characterisation

What are the important elements of Characterization

  • How a character looks (physical description)
  • How a character acts
  • How other characters in the story react to this character
  • The character's speech, thoughts, background
  • Their persona, (Who they are..)

Why is Characterization Important

  • Characterization is important because it creates a connection with the character, it makes the reader feel that they actually know the character. 
  • Adds interest to the story
  • Creates insight into why things happen
  • Adds depth to the story
  • Makes it more 'real'
