The Vane Sisters

Character Profiles

In groups, work to profile each character: what/how do they value, notice, ponder, etc? Use specific passages of text as references, and be prepared to cite.

Quick Writing Prompt

Who is the story really about? Furthermore, what does the story say about that character and how does the text use him/her to make this comment?

Supernatural Elements

How does the narrator feel about the supernatural?

  • How is he perceptive to "unearthly" elements?
  • Does his analysis of the world contradict with the way he professes to see it, or not?
  • How does the narrator's view either contradict or coincide with Cynthia's views?

*Write individually and be

prepared to share*

Unlocking Clues

What's the point?

  • What does the encoded message at the end mean?
  • What does it reveal (about each character)?
  • How does the text foreshadow the ending throughout?

Decoding the Text/Cynthia

Why/how is it that Cynthia becomes, for the narrator, an embodiment of a decoded message? Does this attribution to her (character) go beyond her tendency to look for messages in things (texts, the undead)?

*Note any number of literary tools/devices used to do this: language, chronology, character development*

*Analyze the narrator's actions toward the end in response to Cynthia*
