Character Network Graph of A Midsummer Night's Dream

Project Goal

  • Create a character network graph of A Midsummer Night's Dream, inspired by Martin Grandjean's work, found here
  • Create a tutorial to show how I processed the script and created the network graph.
    • You can read my blog post on this project here.

Process

  1. Pre-process script to get character lists and scenes
  2. Define functions to find entrances and exits of characters
  3. Enhance functions to track when characters are in a scene together
  4. Use information about co-occurrences to create edges and nodes of a network graph
  5. Draw network graph and format
