Date Due: ____________________

Length: minimum 650 words.

Your task is to select a character from The Crucible and then offer an analysis of this

character. Your character analysis should take the form of an essay. This essay will be

marked with the Grade 12 Evaluation Rubric that was included in your syllabus. The

expectations for this assignment are the same as any other formal written assignment:

Typed or neatly handwritten in blue or black ink; Double-spaced

A title page with a meaningful and original title.

MLA format (yes, this includes a Works Cited page); Rough draft (your answers

to the questions below) to be included. No rough draft? The assignment will not

be accepted.

You will require the use of a minimum of 2 quotations from the text.

Feedback Review sheet

My policy on plagiarism stands – any words or thoughts that do not come from you and you

alone need to be cited and credited or the assignment may receive a 0!!!

Below are questions your analysis should/can answer. Do not feel that all of these

questions must be answered; use these questions as a springboard for your analysis.

However, please note: “Once you have answered the questions, you will still need to

organize your thoughts into a coherent essay with a clear thesis. The purpose of these

questions is to generate material to go into such an essay; simply recording the answers

in sequence does not make a finished paper. “

Questions to Consider for your Character Analysis

1. Give your initial reaction to the character by completing the following sentence:

“{Name of Character} in {Name of Work} is . . .”

2. What is the character’s function in the story (is the character a major or minor

character)?

3. What does the character do that shows he/she fits the description you have

given?

4. What does the character say that shows he/she fits the description you have

given?
