This paper is a character analyzation of any character in Antigone to see if they developed or not. below is the full instructions as well as attached is the copy of Antigone I use as well as the 6 elements of fiction handouts for each element.
General Instructions: This will be a traditional essay structure with (in this case) five paragraphs, an introduction, three support paragraphs and a conclusion. Each support paragraph will be dedicated to one of the elements of fiction (elements of your choice). Remember to use the author’s last name if you are referring to their intentions or their structure, etc. Include some in-text (a.k.a., parenthetical) citations for Mays or my handouts and include line citations in your support paragraph when you quote or paraphrase, no author, just the line numbers. Do provide a Works Cited section at the end. It should include the Mays, if you cite her, the play, including the translator, and my handouts if you reference them. Use MLA (Modern Language Association) style for the citations and the Works Cited section. Check these against a source to be sure they are formatted correctly.
Thesis: Express whether a character of your choice does or does not develop in some way by the end of the story.
Content Instructions: It makes no difference to me whether you argue that your chosen character did or did not develop as long as you have evidence. Feel free to choose a minor character.
Topic sentences for each paragraph. Each paragraph, and therefore it’s first sentence, the topic sentence, should address a category of evidence of character development or lack thereof. Remember that we looked at this in the short fiction section. How is character revealed?
the character’s actions (limited on stage, but possibly useful
his or her speaking lines: This category could be subdivided, for example, a paragraph on the character’s reliability as a speaker–which could change over time, another on evidence of the character’s weakness(es), his or her strengths, and finally whether his or her perspective has shifted by the end.
what others (including the chorus) say about the character that is reliable (also could be subdivided)
character interaction (focused on one other character or on multiple characters)
setting can be significant in a drama, but not so much in this one
Order your paragraphs in such as way that the final paragraph is the one with the most impact.
Note: You do not have to cover all of the above (nor are you limited to these elements). Choose your strongest three.
Paragraph 1: The Introduction
In this paragraph you are warming up your audience (hopefully, not putting them to sleep with a sentence like, “I chose to write my paper on….” In addition, you are orienting your audience with the subjects you will be discussing. That means you should introduce your play’s title and author and you may include a little background. Not an encyclopedia blurb, published in xxxx, printed in xxxx, but something to refresh your audience’s memory of this fiction. You can assume they have read it but may not remember every detail. Your last sentence will be your thesis statement in which you will point out which character you focused on and give us a hint about in what way you saw them grow or fail to grow.
Paragraphs 2, 3, and 4
These “body” or “support” paragraphs systematically show why you came to that conclusion stated in your thesis above. Each will need a clear topic sentence mentioning the category of evidence you will cover in that paragraph and perhaps where it will take us as we become familiar with the character.
After the topic sentence you will supply the layers of your argument in a way that is not that different from a conversation with an interested listener who says after most sentences, “Really, what makes you think that?” (See my handout on paragraph organization.) Normally, it goes, topic sentence, lead in to evidence, evidence (usually a quotation), followed by a discussion sentence showing you understand the evidence or noting its effectiveness or transitioning to a second piece of evidence, if necessary. The discussion part is where you show your skills in analyzing the evidence, not just supplying it.
Conclusion
Most students rush through the conclusion and do a pretty mediocre job. Their heads are probably on the next task or entertaining thing they will do. Remember, this is the last impression for your reader, and you want them to agree with your argument and leave feeling like you were in control of your message and care about the reader’s experience. Generally speaking, you need to loosely reflect your introduction but include the clenching idea that makes your argument memorable. Never repeat the same wording as your introduction. Your audience will remember that wording and conclude that your don’t care about the reception of your message. Maybe you call Character X was “reckless” in your introduction but in your conclusion you say, “If one must pick a time to be rash, it should be in defense of one’s core principles.” (Here you have repeated the idea of reckless using the synonym rash). You can also use a bit of a sense of humor in the introduction and the conclusion, but usually not in the support paragraphs, which should be a clear laying out of your evidence, not a time for tongue-and-cheek wit. For this drama paper, make it clear whether you feel the character developed or “evolved” even in a small way, and whether you found the character to be a sympathetic or non-sympathetic character.
FYI, I am giving you all this extra guidance because this is the same essay and paragraph structure pattern for almost all of your required writing, whether its on technology or marketing or biology. And this is possibly your last how-to-write class…ever!
