Our Antagonist - Mr. Curtain
Mr. Curtain is the antagonist of the story because in the book, Mr. Curtain is the one who is sending out the messages which are being used by Mr. Curtain so he can control the world. Also, Mr. Curtain has a sinister kind of attitude towards the character.
Behind a Curtain's Shades
In the book, each character has a picture. This is what Mr. Curtain is shown as in the books.
The Real Mr. Curtain
If Mr. Curtain was a real person, he might look a bit like this. Mr. Curtain is an old man who would always were glasses.
Curtain's Personal Scars
If there was one Disney character that best represented Mr. Curtain the best, with out a doubt it's Scar. Scar was evil, but thought his intentions were good. Scar killed his brother, and Mr. Curtain is as good as killing his brother by possibly brainwashing him.
Round or Flat? Static or Dynamic?
Mr. Curtain is a round and static character. I believe this because he has tons of depth to his character and he had never gone through a life changing event.
Direct and Indirect Characterization of Mr. Curtain
Direct Characterization - none
Indirect Characterization - when Mr. Curtain wanted to brainwash people's minds.
