Characters

A list of character analyses that includes some of the most recognizable names from literary world, including novels, short stories, graphic novels, etc.

Literary characters are usually the ones that determine the action itself and authors often use them to describe important events in the book. Almost all literature has the main and secondary characters. The main character is the one around whom the whole plot revolves, while the secondary characters are those who are in some relationship with the main character.

Characterization or analysis of characters means to describe the physical appearance of the characters, their thoughts, feelings and attitudes. We also include quotes to confirm the credibility of the statement and give the reading an even greater and better meaning.

Since there are several types of character analysis, we do our best to go through all of them to make sure that we have covered all the physical, psychological, moral, social and linguistic characteristics of each character.
