Characters
Character – A person, animal, or creature that takes part in the action of a story, play, or other literary work.
Protagonist – This is the main character we can relate to and is usually, but not always, the good guy. (I.e. Shrek, Indiana Jones, Cinderella, E.T )
Antagonist – This is the character who opposes the protagonist. The antagonist is not always a person. It can also be a natural element or force. (I.e. Jaws, The ocean in The Perfect Storm, Tornados in Twister)
Static (unchanging) – does not change much in the course of a work
Dynamic – changes as a result of the story’s events
Stereotypical (stock) – a character that falls into a stereotype. For example, the ‘clueless blonde’
Round (3 dimensional) – this character has more than one facet to their personality.
For example, they are not simply a cheerleader; they also play the guitar and surf.
Flat (1 dimensional) – this is the character who is only viewed through one side. This is the hardcore gamer. That’s all there is to the character.
