Hey, my name is Alexa and i have a project due next thurs. the 21. I really need some help. i have to write a literary essay on Something Wicked This Way Comes. Please help me!!!!

Oops. I'm so sorry. i forgot to tell you what it is about and what i need. here are the exact instructions.
Character analysis: Choose one character and analyze physical description, personality, role in the novel, effects of being static/dynamic.

Symbol: choose a recurring object from the story that signifies something greater than itself. Describe what the object symbolizes and its role in the story, providing examples from the novel.

I was thinking of Jim's being "dark" and Will's being "light."
Like, Jim is overloaded with the troubles of the world, and so he's dark. But Will is light because he is good and hasn't yet discovered the horror of the real world. Well, please give me any info or ideas that you have because I'm not sure i completely understand how to do this.
Thanks,
Alexa
