Character Types & Characterization

L. M. Montgomery’s The Quarantine at Alexander Abraham’s

A complete literature teaching package for Grades 10–11

L. M. Montgomery’s The Quarantine at Alexander Abraham’s offers students an engaging opportunity to examine how authors develop fictional characters through description, dialogue, actions, and relationships.

This ready-to-use teaching package focuses on two essential elements of literary analysis: character types and direct and indirect characterization. Through guided explanations, examples from familiar literary works, close-reading activities, and analytical questions, students learn to identify how characters are constructed and how characterization contributes to a story’s meaning.

What Students Will Learn

  • Distinguish between round, flat, static, dynamic, and stock characters.

  • Understand why flat or static characters are not necessarily poorly developed characters.

  • Differentiate between direct and indirect characterization.

  • Analyze how dialogue, actions, thoughts, and descriptions reveal personality.

  • Support interpretations of characters with relevant textual evidence.

  • Explain how Montgomery develops her characters throughout the story.
