Character Motivation
• Motivation is what a person, or a character,
wants. It is the reason he or she acts a certain
way.
• Motivation refers to reasons that underlie a
characters behaviour.
What is Winston's motivation to write in the
journal?
• Step 1: Read who each of the characters are
carefully and recall key events in the book that
discuss the characters interacting.
• Step 2: Think of a sentence or a short
explanation that you can write next to the
arrows to summarise or explain that
characters relationship.
• Step 3: Try to use direct quotes from the text
such as “Vaporizes” in your explanations.
