Abstract
Singular value decomposition is a powerful matrix reduction technique which we used to pull out core components of personality of fictional characters, yielding a character space. While these are interesting results in themselves, we also considered how they might map onto other spaces, particularly the power-danger-structure framework, and how this strategy could be extended to include other aspects of literary inquiry and other data.
