You may wish to discuss how the character affects action, theme, or the development of other characters. Avoid plot summary.
AP Open Question #2
1980. A
recurring theme in literature is the classic war between a passion and
responsibility. For instance, a personal cause, a love, a desire for revenge, a
determination to redress a wrong, or some other emotion or drive may conflict
with moral duty. Choose a literary work in which a character confronts the
demands of a private passion that conflicts with his or her responsibilities.
In a well-written essay show clearly the nature of the conflict, its effects
upon the character, and its significance to the work.
