Character Profile

For each central character consider the following:

1. General information about the character. E.g. Age, role in the play, relationships to other characters, etc.

2. What themes the character helps to demonstrate and how they achieve this.

3. Relevant quotes and examples from the plot that are significant to this character, you should already have some from the previous exercise but you can continue to add to these. Be aware that you don't simply have to use quotes that the character says, you should also consider things others say about them. Make sure that you explain the quotes, don't just list quotes and rely on them to explain themselves.
