Blog #2- Character

A major part of any story is the character and any transformation or development that character undergoes. Comparing the two main or at least major characters of Elizabeth Bennet from Pride & Prejudice and Hamlet from Hamlet we can analyze the major similarities in the manner of which they as a person unfold out to be in the story, following the format of a developing character.  With Elizabeth we see her development from initial naiveness and misconceptions about Mr. Darcy to her ultimate realization of Mr. Darcy's true intentions, generosity, and affection for her, while with Hamlet we see his transformation as a character as he struggles through the intense emotions of hate, revenge, madness, and depression and his quest to seek justice for his father.  This common presentation of how a character develops in both stories helps to show the effectiveness and complexity added to characters by this method.
