Of Mice and Men Chapter 5 Study Guide Characterization Review

As authors develop the plot and characters for a story, several character types emerge. The protagonist of a story is the main character that changes throughout the story; the protagonist is directly affected by the events of the plot. The antagonist is the main character in opposition of the protagonist; the antagonist usually causes the protagonist’s problems. The antagonist can also be a force of nature.

To further define his characters, an author then develops four general types of characters which evolve around the protagonist and antagonist and support the plot development: Round characters are complicated and interesting to the reader. Flat characters are simple and under-developed Dynamic characters are those that grow or change emotionally or learn a lesson. Static characters change or grow very little (or not at all) throughout the story.
