Creating Character
Through Setting

In these activities you are learning about and practicing the use of six basic strategies for developing a character. They are:

1) Description
2) Dialogue
3) Action
4) Reactions of other characters
5) Setting
6) Narrative

This activity focuses on developing a character through Settings.

By describing the setting, you have an indirect way of revealing character. For example, what does your own room say about your character? Do your furnishings, possessions, decorations, colors, or the state of array or disarray say anything about the person you are? By looking at your bedroom, can a person understand some things about what type of a person you are, what you value, and what you like and dislike.

This passage is from Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte.

My home, then, -- when I at last find a home, is a cottage: a little room with whitewashed walls, and a sanded floor, containing four painted chairs and a table, a clock, a cupboard, with two or three plates and dishes, and a set of tea-things in delf. Above, a chamber of the same dimensions as the kitchen, with a deal bedstead, and chest of drawers; small, yet too large to be filled with my scanty wardrobe; though the kindness of gentle and generous friends has increased that, by a moderate stock of such things as are necessary.

1)  What can you understand from the passage about this character's lifestyle?
