How can secondary English teachers help students gain insight from
the moral development of fictional characters? This book offers
guidance for teachers looking to include character education within
their lessons. It demonstrates how teachers can provide an
encounter with literature that enables students to be more
responsive to ethical themes and questions. Instead of focusing on
the formal analysis of plot, symbol, mood and irony, the author
shows how to draw instructive insights from fictional life
narratives so that pupils can be prompted to consider and evaluate
an individual's motivations, aspirations and choices. The book is
divided into two parts. The first part provides a theoretical basis
for this new approach to teaching character through English. Part
two, 'Case Studies in Character', shows you how this approach can
be applied to four literary characters: Sydney Carton from Charles
Dickens' Tales of Two Cities; Jay Gatsby from F.Scott Fitzgerald's
Great Gatsby; Elizabeth Bennett from Jane Austen's Pride and
Prejudice; Janie Crawford from Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were
Watching God; Ideas from these case studies can be transferred to
other novels being read in the classroom. Fictional characters'
struggles are of interest to students as they strive to set a
course for their own life journey, make their own choices, and in
doing so, give consideration to the kind of person they would like
to become. This book will show how you can help your pupils to more
fruitfully examine literary characters' choices and commitments
within the contexts of the novels they read, and in a way that
respects the integrity of the story, embraces the complexity of a
character's moral growth and responds to the developmental
readiness of the adolescent reader.
