Character Analysis Worksheets by Elizabeth Santo | TPT - Free Printable

It looks like you've uploaded a Character Analysis worksheet that uses the S.T.E.A.L. method to analyze a character from a story. The S.T.E.A.L. acronym stands for:

- Speech
- Thoughts
- Effect on others
- Actions
- Looks

This is a common literary analysis tool used in schools to help students understand and describe characters deeply.

Since you mentioned "I uploaded an image with a task," but I can't view images directly, I’ll assume you're asking me to explain how to complete this worksheet, or perhaps solve it based on a character (though no specific character was provided).

Let’s go through how to fill out each section of the S.T.E.A.L. chart using an example. For this explanation, I'll use Scrooge from *A Christmas Carol* as the character.

📝 CHARACTER ANALYSIS WORKSHEET – Example Using Scrooge

#### Character Name: Ebenezer Scrooge

---

S – Speech

*How does the character talk?*

> Scrooge speaks in short, harsh sentences. He often uses cold, dismissive language like “Bah! Humbug!” and says things like “I don’t make merry myself.” His tone is grumpy and impatient, especially toward people who ask for charity or kindness.

---

T – Thoughts

*What does the character think or believe?*

> Scrooge believes money is the most important thing in life. He thinks people should work hard and not waste time on holidays or helping others. He feels that Christmas is a waste of time and money, and he resents anyone who tries to cheer him up.

---

E – Effect on Others

*How does the character affect others?*

> Scrooge makes people feel uncomfortable or afraid around him. His employees, like Bob Cratchit, are nervous and timid. People avoid talking to him, and he’s seen as mean and selfish. Even his nephew avoids him because he knows Scrooge will be rude.

---

A – Actions

*How does the character act?*

> Scrooge is stingy—he gives his employee only a small salary and doesn’t allow warm fires in the office. He refuses to donate to charity, even when asked politely. He walks fast, keeps to himself, and rarely shows kindness.

---

L – Looks

*How does the character look?*

> Scrooge is described as thin, old, and sharp-faced. He wears dark clothes and has a sour expression. His eyes are sharp and narrow, and he carries himself with a rigid, stiff posture—like a man who never smiles.

---

✍️ Write a short description of the character's personality:

> Ebenezer Scrooge is a wealthy but bitter man who values money over people. He is selfish, greedy, and cold-hearted. He dislikes joy and celebration, especially Christmas. However, he changes after being visited by the ghosts, showing that he is capable of growth and redemption.

🔁 Circle the adjectives that best describe the character:

From the list:
arrogant, mischievous, friendly, obnoxious, hardworking, disagreeable, caring, grumpy, bright, quiet, realistic, selfish, weird, sad, rude, honest, cautious, unhappy, brave, conceited, manipulative, lazy, tough, demanding, happy, loud

✔ Correct choices for Scrooge:
grumpy, selfish, rude, disagreeable, obnoxious, arrogant, conceited, unhappy, hardworking

(Note: “hardworking” might seem odd, but Scrooge works long hours and is very focused on business.)

---

✔ Summary:

The S.T.E.A.L. method helps break down a character into observable traits and behaviors. By analyzing speech, thoughts, effects, actions, and appearance, students can build a full picture of a character’s personality and development.
