You can write a paper on just the characters in a story; analyzing them, discussing them, and raising the issue about the characters represent and do in the story. You can write about how the characters are at the beginning of the work, what happens to them, and how they change. The change in the characters can be especially important; what causes them to change, was it good or bad, and what kind of change took place. You can also write about if the characters confirm to what others call "normalacy", or if they do/do not do what is expected of people in their position; do they correspond to type. How are the characters affected by their enviroment/circumstances. Parents are not supposed to have favorites, but in both fiction and real life they do.
I liked this article about characters and writing about them. I think that this would be easy to write about, as compared to other subjects like setting and how it affects the story, which would be more difficult. The last part about how parents try to treat their children equally, but inevitably have favorites is true, and thus even more interesting (at least in my opinion). The last sentence poses the question if Mrs. Johnson's change from Dee to Maggie is logical or illogical, if it is within the limits of what we think of as normal. I think it is not usual, but it was for the best.
