Dramatic Characterization

Dialogue

  • Not revealed in monologues
  • revealed instead through brief, in inadvertent admission.
  • Just like fiction, dialogue should be unique to each character.

Characters in Flux

It all begins with Characters

Depth of Character

  • Movement
  • Reversals
  • They are not the same by the end of the play as when they started.

Action

  • Round characters
  • Flat characters
  • A Foil
  • Reveal through physical description
  • Reveal through body language
  • Reveal through actions
  • You want the audience to feel they have come to know the character fairly well.

Contrasts

Consistency

  • Create contrasts in your character.
  • For example: Joe is arrogant, vain, and sexist while also being childish, insecure and lonely.
  • These characters should be generally consistent.
  • But have a few contrasting traits.
