Ready Player One

One of the biggest tools at a writer’s access is his/her characters- particularly his/her protagonist. Explain how Ernest Cline characterizes his main character in Ready Player One and discuss how this main character changes in the novel. From beginning to end, how does his development lead to the meaning of the work as a whole, otherwise known as the theme of the work? Be sure to clearly identify how he/she is characterized in both the beginning and the end and then go on and share how this leads to the novel’s meaning.
