Dynamic Character

The tone of “Louisa, Please Come Home”, by Shirley Jackson, is collected and relaxed, making the tragic events of the story seem ominous. Louisa tends to give up and not care about others, and tells her family when she returns that “I hope your daughter comes back someday… Goodbye” (Jackson 15). This clearly shows that Louisa doesn’t want her family to be concerned with her, even though she still needs them. She also doesn’t give an effort to understand how her family feels.

One of the key elements in writing a dynamic character is to have them go through a change, either physically or mentally. They must go through a process that allows either themselves or the others around them to change their perception on them, or their life. Movies such as Finding Forrester develop these types of characters, as they are faced with a decision that will either develop their growth as a character, or emphasize how much of that character has remained the same throughout the story. William Forrester from Finding Forrester reflects these types of characters, as he is faced with decisions that either reveal something about him, or show how much he has developed as a character; allowing him to become more three-dimensional and more

Walter lives with his wife Ruth, his sister Beneatha, his son Travis, and his mother Lena in a small, one family apartment in the southside of Chicago. The black Younger family lived in a time period between 1945 and 1959 when black segregation was starting to become more recognized.

Her parents never hid the fact that they considered her younger sister, Treena, to be the more intelligent sibling. Patrick, her ex-boyfriend, is a self–absorbed personal.

In this short story, Louisa’s internal independence plays a major role in who she is as a woman. Mary E. Wilkins Freeman describes Louisa as an introvert because she is someone who enjoys being alone. She spends fourteen years of her life being isolated at home, waiting for her fiancé to come back from his job in Australia. During those years, she learns how to be by herself through the hard times and the pleasant ones “Louisa’s feet had turned into a path, smooth maybe under a calm, serene sky, but so strait and unswerving that it could only meet a check at her grave, and so narrow that there was no room for any one at her side” (Freeman 66).

Louisa's character is coy and airy, she plays these men back and forth, as if to refute the idea that she belongs to either of them. For example, she offers herself to Tom, "Well, here I am.... I don't know what you mean", and at the same time she demurely denies any relationship with
