Exploratory Draft

When I started thinking about what topics, that I might want to write on or research I considered looking into the characters composition in either Heidi Julavits’s The Uses of Enchantment or Joss Whedon’s Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog.  The characters in Julavits’s novel and Whedon’s original web show makeup are definitely atypical.  There is a lot of fantasy and drama in both of these mediums.  The Uses of Enchantment and Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog uses devices that are unexpected and somewhat chilling, this makes the readers, and viewers want to delve into the minds of these characters.  The more I thought about looking at the composition frameworks of Julavits’s characters and Whedon’s characters I wonder if I should be researching the characters themselves.  The reason being is that both these authors use different techniques to personify their characters’ flaws, dysfunctions, dreamlike situations, and dialogue methods.  There are unquestionably different methods and structures that Heidi Julavits’s The Uses of Enchantment and Joss Whedon’s Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog uses to convey the characters in their mediums.  When I started thinking about what topics, that I might want to write on or research I considered looking into the characters composition in either Heidi Julavits’s The Uses of Enchantment or Joss Whedon’s Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog.  The characters in Julavits’s novel and Wheldon’s original web show makeup are definitely atypical.  There is a lot of fantasy and drama in both of these mediums.  The Uses of Enchantment and Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog uses devices that are unexpected and somewhat chilling, this makes the readers, and viewers want to delve into the minds of these characters.

The more I thought about looking at the composition frameworks of Julavits’s characters and Whedon’s characters I wonder if I should be researching the characters themselves.  The reason being is that both these authors use different techniques to personify their characters’ flaws, dysfunctions, dreamlike situations, and dialogue methods.  There are unquestionably different methods and structures that Heidi Julavits’s The Uses of Enchantment and Joss Whedon’s Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog uses to convey the characters’ in their mediums.  We are constantly observing the characters and their character composition.  We have analyzed what makes them tick.  In David Fincher’s Zodiac we dealt with the characters Robert Graysmith, who is a cartoonist that works for the San Francisco Chronicle. His quirky ways irritate the character, Paul Avery who is

a reporter whose drinking gets in the way of doing his job. We have studied certain characters idiosyncrasy, like Dr. Horrible who wants to freeze-ray the world that is filled with filth and ignorant people.  We also looked at characters that lie, fake being abducted, and use drugs or hallucinating agents.  We have studied many characteristics traits of the different characters that we have read and viewed so far.  We also are trying to unravel the complexities of the inner structure of the characters.  For my research paper, I will probably explore and research the many tactics that either Heidi Julavits or Joss Whedon use in mediums to personify the characters composition or structure.  I will also look at how Julavits or Wheldon used different devices to create their characters’ persona, which definitely goes outside the box of the norm. I want to delve into the inner workings of the minds of the characters in either Heidi Julavits’s The Uses of Enchantment or Joss Whedon’s Dr. Horrible Sing Along Blog.  I do not know what I going to find out, but I am up to the challenge.
