DRAMA PROJECT INSTRUCTIONS

Please choose from one of the following options, and submit it through the turnitin link below these instructions.

Drama Project Option One:

Based on one of the plays we read in class, write a 2-3 page character analysis essay. The character analysis can be based on any character of your choosing. This analysis should be based on one specific character and the role that he or she plays in the literary work.

I would advise selecting a character that interests you. You will need to provide evidence from the play in order to support your claims about your chosen character.

You may NOT use any outside sources, other than the play. Any indication that an outside source was used will lead to a zero.

Here are a few hints in order to assist you in writing this analysis. You do not have to follow this exact outline; it serves as a guide to those who are in need.

• The opening paragraph of your essay should introduce who this character is, briefly explain what his/her role is in the story and why you have chosen to analyze his/her personality.
• You should be sure to define your chosen character in terms of whether he/she is the protagonist, antagonist or supporting character.
• Identify your character’s conflict, if any. The conflict creates and fuels the friction between your character and his/her opponent(s) and drives the action forward.
• Pay attention to your character’s actions and what they really say about him/her. Provide examples.
• Discuss the character’s interactions with others. Assess whether these interactions are consistent with or contrary to your expectations of their assigned roles.
• Describe the conflict’s resolution in terms of the character’s growth. How has the individual has evolved during the course of the story? Some characters don’t experience evolution at all and are basically the same at the end of a play as they were at the beginning. Others, however, are strengthened, inspired or humbled by the challenges they have faced.
• Compare what you have learned about the character to your own personality profile in terms of what you admire, what you dislike and whether you would have followed the same course of action.

Drama Project Option Two:

Choose one of the plays we’ve read in class, and rewrite the play by changing at least one element. Then, write a one page reflective essay on how changing one or more element(s) has an impact on the outcome of the play. When something is reinvented, it goes through a radical change. Be creative. Do not simply change the names of the characters. This project is worth 100 points, so I expect something quite remarkable.
