Literary Elements Character Development
Characterization: Campbell Method • By action of the character • By speech of the character • By effect of the character upon other characters • By the character’sown reactions to persons, things, and surrounding circumstances • By reporting what other characters say about the character • By explaining the traits and motives of the character • By describing the character (five senses) • By analyzing the psychological processes of the character
Campbell Method • Action: • Pete slunk out of the battle. • Speech: • “Hiya, pardner!” • Effect on others • Her beauty was breath-taking. • Character’s own reactions • John adored her, especially in blue. • What other characters say • Said Tom, “Of course Sam is a genius!” • Traits and motives • He loved good food. • Describing (5 senses) • He had blue eyes, spoke with a Southern accent, smelled of the smoke-house, and his muscles were hard as nails. • Psychological processes • He was unable to overcome his shyness, which was the result of his being the son of a famous and terribly egotistical father.
