Charactor Analysis for a flight attendant?

Question

so i am doing a theatre skit and my character is a flight attendant who's objective is to keep her job but a passenger has a crush on her and he is a butler but she has no idea because he is in first class so she goes on a date with him for his money. A character analysis may be she was born into a certain family then ran away or sumthing. thanks
- i just need ideas if not the whole thing-

Answer 1

Why are you a flight attendant? Maybe because you like travelling and don't ever want to settle down anywhere. Maybe you grew up in a small town and hated it. Perhaps you got into being a flight attendant because you thought it'd be fun, but now realize that it isn't as fun as you believed, and need to find the money so you can find a new life.

Answer 2

You have to find the clues in the dialog. Did you guys create the script or was it given to you?

A character analysis is the actual break down of a character:

Who she is.
Where she is from.
What motivates her to do what she does?
Her demeanor (her personality)
What makes her tick?
Does she like her job?
Why is she a flight attendant?
Is she lonely?
What happened in her previous relationship?
How do the other characters feel about this person?

You can't just create situations if the script already exists. You have to read between the lines in a script. You have to pay attention to what the other characters think of your character too. As an actor you have to be a psychologist and a detective. You have to explore the characters world and their surroundings to find out what makes them react the way they do. It's in the script. Don't make things up because then it doesn't make any sense with the dialog or the playwrights intentions.

Now if you guys wrote this skit these answers should have been dealt with when you were actually writing the skit.

Good Luck

Answer 3

You have a dumb asignment. As an actor you shouldn't have to create the character (analyze her as you put it). That is the playwright's job.
