The psychological framework of a literary protagonist

    Consider how the psychological framework of a literary protagonist can influence the manner in which a narrative unfurls. For Essay #2, select a character from a poem, song, short story, novel, film, video game, or television episode whose personal faults ultimately lead him/her into conflict. With the analysis of this character in mind, compose a tightly structured literary analysis that examines the psychological framework of this person and how a limitation in their personality led them towards a narrative issue. Consider some or all of the following questions when crafting your essay: -Does the character have only one personality fault that leads to conflict, or are there many which factor together to cause the issue? -What is this character’s level of understanding of their problem? Are they consciously aware of their issue and cannot fend against it, or are they ignorant to their own flaw? -How do you know that the perceived trait is indeed a fault in this character’s make-up? What support does the text provide to suggest that this character is flawed? -Would you consider your character an “anti-hero”, an antagonist, a flawed hero, etc.? -Does the narrative end happily for the character? Do they ultimately compensate for their fault, or do they succumb to it? -Which elements of literature help you understand this character on a deeper level? Consider particular lines of dialogue, employment of allusion, rhyme, irony, mood/tone, narrative, point-of-view, etc. If you are discussing a television episode, consider noting important composition in the cinematography as well. Ultimately, your goal is to demonstrate your ability to deeply analyze a literary character and their role/influence on their work’s narrative, as well as your ability to form tightly-structured paragraphs that introduce – and then thoroughly support – focused arguments
