Character Analysis Psychology 435: Personality (Naumann)

O

Assignment
1. Select a major character from a film, TV show, or book. Characters can be from any genre or decade, but you should choose characters that have significant development over the course of a TV show, film, or book. For example, it’s helpful to have some background knowledge about the character’s childhood, relationship with others (parents, friends, romantic partners), and other life information in order to have enough detail to draw upon. You will use this information to provide support for your interpretation and analysis.

2. Evaluate your character’s personality from THREE different personality theories/perspectives. You are encouraged to use concepts discussed from all sections of the course (from the book or lecture) that help explain your character’s personality, beliefs, or behavior. Here are some commonly used concepts (not an exhaustive list).

 

3. Provide a description of the behaviors and an in-depth analysis of how your character fits into the categorization that you’ve selected. The concept you choose and examples from the medium (film/TV/book) must be described in sufficient detail so that I know what you are talking about (presume that I know nothing about your character).
a. Describe how they behave. Why do you think they behave the way they do?
b. Describe how they react to different situations. Why do you think they differ from how the other characters respond or interpret situations?
c. Describe their relationships with others. What it is it about their past relationships that may influence their behavior and personality now?
