Analyze the character of Cora Jenkins. (You might think of this as primarily Formalist since it concentrates on an analysis of character.) What sort of person does Cora prove to be? This is your thesis question. To answer this question, think about the events in her life from the beginning to the end of the story and how she responds to each one. What are Coras experiences in life, love, and work? What is her family life like? How does she interact with those around her? Who or what does she value? Do her values clash with the values of others? What are her work and social conditions? Is there a common thread to her responses? Does she evolve over time?
