How to Read: Character

Characters and speech

What characters say reveals a lot about them. We interpret their words to clarify meaning.

But beware: words aren't always reliable indicators of truth. Like real people, characters may . . .

• Use words to conceal
• Say one thing but do another
• Not say what they mean
• Say more—or less—than they mean.
