=**Character Review and Analysis: The Director**=

For the character of The Director, you need to gather information in the following areas. Remember that you need to identify direct and indirect characterization. To understand those terms go to the following link: [|Direct vs. Indirect Characterization] and review the handout on [|Defining Characterization].

Also, be sure to include quoted evidence from the novel and explain how it relates. Use the link on the home page to go to the full electronic text of the novel and copy and paste text when you need evidence.  Finally, make sure that you help to SPAN the novel- don't just focus on one part- try to include evidence from across the novel so that we get a full picture of the character.

For each of the following areas of Characterization, you need to give an **example** (quote the text) and then an **explanation** (this comes from your mind):


 * Direct Characterization: where the audience is told directly about the character.**


 * Tall and rather thin but upright, the Director advanced into the room. He had a long chin and big rather prominent teeth, just covered, when he was not talking, by his full, floridly curved lips.
 * This tells us how the Director looks and he looks good. Ch 1 (IMEveritt)
 * "He must of flown away, back to the other place without her- a bad, unkind, unnatural man."
 * The Director is not a kind man bacause he left Linda pregnant with his baby alone to find her own way. this is unnatural because most people would stay with the person carrying their baby but in the new world it is wrong to have a baby.[(chapt 7, page 118)(Andrea!)]

"Furiously the students scribbled. 'Hypnopaedia, first used officially in A.T. 214. Why not before? Two reasons (a)...'" It shows what kind of person The Director is and what type of intelligent language he speaks in. [Ch.2 pg.25] (Taylor W.)
 * Speech:** What does the character say? How does the character speak?


 * "Essentially," the D.H.C. concluded, "bokanovskification consists of a series of arrests of development. We check the normal growth and, paradoxically enough, the egg responds by budding." Chapter 1. This is the better way of making people than have them born.(mike M)


 * "Cant You see? cant you see? Bokanovsky's process is one of the major instruments of social stability" chpt 1 (john a)

The singing of the girlss over their test-tubes, the preocupied whistling of the microscopists, suddenly ceased."(148) This shows that when the Director talks, people listen and obey what he says. He is very respected.

How does the character dress?
 * "'...this monstrous practical joke,' the Director shouted." (chap.10 pg.150) --Trys to keep his respect of others; tough he remembers Linda, he cant be associated with her. has a "higher-than-thou" attitude, and is embarassed by her.
 * "But why do you want to keep the embryo below par?" asked an ingenuous student. "Ass!" said the Director, breaking a long silence. "Hasn't it occurred to you that an Epsilon embryo must have an Epsilon environment as well as an Epsilon heredity. He seems to get angry very quickly towards things he doesn't want to hear. ( K Scott)
 * "of course i knew you; Tomakin i should have known you anywhere among a thousand. but perhaps youve forgotten me" this means that he is very surprised to see Linda but she rember her(TD) (i here by give mike permition to use this information)
 * "Pale, wild-eyed, the Director glared about him in an agony of bewildered humiliation." What is revealed during this quote is that the director is overwelmed with such embarassment from Linda.
 * Effect on others: What is revealed through the character's effect on other people? How do characters feel or behave in reaction to the character? **
 * Actions:** What does the character do? How does the character behave?
 * "Tall and rather thin but upright, the Director advanced into the room. He had a long chin and big rather prominent teeth, just covered, when he was not talking, by his full, floridly curved lips. Old, young? Thirty? Fifty? Fifty-five? It was hard to say." (Murphy)
 * He had a long chin and big rather promionic teeth just coverd lips. pg 4 rommy tims
 * Tall and rather thin but upright, the Director advanced into the room. He had a long chin and big rather prominent teeth, just covered, when he was not talking, by his full, floridly curved lips.
