When looking from the Main Character's perspective, use the first person singular ("I") voice to evaluate the Classes.

 

•If the Main Character's Throughline is Situation (for example Luke in Star Wars or George in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?), questions like the following would arise: What is it like to be in my situation? What is my status? What condition am I in? Where am I going to be in the future? What's so special about my past?

 

•If the Main Character's Throughline is Activity (for example Frank Galvin in The Verdict or Dr. Richard Kimble in The Fugitive), questions like the following would be more appropriate: What am I involved in? How do I get what I want? What must I learn to do the things I want to do? What does it mean to me to have (or lose) something?

 

•If the Main Character's Throughline is Fixed Attitude (for example Scrooge in A Christmas Carol), you would consider questions such as the following: What am I afraid of? What is my opinion? How do I react to something? How do I feel about this or that? What is it that I remember about that night?

 

•If the Main Character's Throughline is Manipulation (for example Laura in The Glass Menagerie or Frank in In The Line of Fire), the concerns would be more like: Who am I really? How should I act? How can I become a different person? Why am I so angry, or reserved, or whatever? How am I manipulating or being manipulated?
