Character types and function
In this lesson, we are moving on to learn about different character types; what they are called, their key characteristics and their function in a text. We will re-examine our text of the week: ‘The Tiredness of Rosabel,’ by Katherine Mansfield from this perspective. Our lesson will look at a pivotal moment in the extract and examine what roles the three characters perform within the passage and how Mansfield both conforms to and subverts our expectations as readers. At the end of the session there will be a learning recap quiz.
