Overview
After reading the play August: Osage County, you probably have a good sense of the personalities of the members of the Weston family. Follow the directions to complete a brief oral character sketch and soliloquy.
Imagine you are one of the characters from the play. You may choose one of the following members from the Weston family: Violet, Ivy, Karen, Barbara, Mattie Fae, Little Charles.
Go back through the play and list all the details you can find about your character. Include any physical characteristics, mannerisms, your impressions of this character’s voice, or traits revealed directly or indirectly (what other characters say or think about him/her). LIST SHOULD BE TURNED IN WITH CHARACTER SKETCH.
Write a brief sketch (three pages double-spaced; page count does not include the list) of: a) what you think your character looks like, and b) who this character believes him- or herself to be.
