A conclusion about the character's impact on the story

Explanation:

Character analysis is the process of evaluating a literary character's traits. This can be done based on the description provided by the writer, the character's actions, thoughts, dialogue, motives, and interactions. What's also important is the character's impact on the story. What message did the author want to relay through the character? How does the character affect the plot? If it's a side-character, how does he or she affect the main character? And so on.

A summary of the whole story or the author's biography is not something you need or should include in your character analysis. If you notice a connection with another character in literary history, you can mention that, but is not necessary.
