give an interpretation of that character. Is this character good/bad/misunderstood, etc.? This means that your
essay should consist of two parts. First, you need to devote time to actual analysis. Using textual evidence,
what do you think this character is like? Sketch the character for us, as if the person reading your essay had
never read the play this character came from. Give us details about their personality, their moral standing (or
lack thereof), their differences between other characters, whatever you can think of. Note that you don’thave to
be obvioushere. Perhaps there’s a character that most people think is evil, but whom you find sympathetic.
Write about that. Similar to our discussions about poetry, no interpretation is invalid if you can back it up with
textual evidence.
