In this video, #AlokMishra covers broadly the concept of writing character sketches, which is helpful for students of English literature and literature students studying literature in any language.
Useful tips for students of BA English Literature, MA English Literature and those who appear in other subjective examinations.
Before writing a character sketch, thoroughly read all the materials prescribed in your syllabus. Only if you read the novels, plays and poetry pieces thoroughly, to the end, will you be able to understand different aspects of a character in a work of literature. So, make sure you read any and every work included in your English literature syllabus completely.
Remember these key things:
When does the character first appear in the literary work?
What is the appearance of the character?
If possible, remember the lines that describe the character for the first time.
Important traits of the personality of the character to be written about.
What are the major actions executed by this character? Remember some.
What is the impact of the actions of this character on the work of literature as a whole? Remember that assessment.
Write your emotional, thoughtful, and critical response to the character and his or her actions in the course of the work.
Finally, you will have to comment on the art of the author. How did the author manage to bring out the best in the character in the course of the storyline (if it happen)? Was the character able to fully explore the scopes ascribed to a human being? Did the character change with time? And other scopes of literary art.
