Option 2: Who speaks to each other or appears in scenes together. For this option, use an encoding designed for network data (such as an arc diagram or a chord diagram). You can add in additional views, like bar charts and line charts, but I want to see at least one other encoding that is designed for network data. I want to understand which characters speak most often to or with each other- such as in the same scene, or in interlaced dialogue with each other. Some scripts have scene cuts, and you can use that information to link the characters together. Or you can look at how often a character's line is close to another character's line- as an approximation.
Note- this could be a considered a network or a graph, with weighted edges. The upcoming lecture on graphs and networks, and tutorials on layouts, will help with this.
I want to be able to update this view by episode and season, to see how this changes over time.

After talking to the team, we will ask prof about doing references to other characters in the line. For example, how many times Zuko says Aang or "the Avatar".

Reminder to also consider nicknames (Blind Bandit - Toph, Fire Lord - Ozai, etc)
