Tracking Character Growth

Worksheet Description

This worksheet engages students in an in-depth character analysis of one of the main characters from Jane Austen’s “Sense and Sensibility.” It begins with students selecting a character and identifying their primary character traits. They will then provide a brief description of the character’s personality, values, and behaviors at the beginning of the novel.

The worksheet includes a diagram that students will use to chart the character’s development and changes over the course of the story, indicating how the character evolves at the beginning, middle, and end of the novel. This exercise encourages students to explore the nuances of character growth and transformation, fostering a deeper understanding of the dynamic nature of characters within the narrative.
