The characteristics of an objective summary include the following:

  • It withholds any personal judgments or opinions.
  • It features facts about a text’s main characters, setting, and plot.

While an objective summary may mention themes, it does not provide an analysis of them, and it typically does not include direct quotations or details about both major and minor characters unless they are essential to understanding the main points of the text.
