Character Types

Protagonist/Antagonist To make it easy, think of the protagonist as the “good guy” and antagonist as the "bad guy." You can think of the protagonist as the hero and the antagonist as the villain. To remember which is which, remember that the prefix pro means good, or positive, and the prefix anti means against, or negative.

Protagonist Answer the question, “Whose story is this?” Usually a story has one, but a novel can have several. Example: Anthony is Kid in the Bin

Antagonist The character fighting against the hero, the protagonist, of a story or novel. Example: The old man in The Chaser

Character Types Round/Flat

Round/Flat Let's begin by thinking about round and flat characterization like a painting. If you're an artist, you must decide how much detail to put into a painting. Do you want many lines and many colors, or just an outline and only black and white?

Round/Flat As an author, you must decide how much detail to include about each character. Which characters are most important; how will giving detail, or not giving detail, affect the story?

Round Characters that are described in depth, with many details, are well-rounded characters - they are called round characters. If you're reading a story and you feel like you know a character extremely well, then most likely the character is round. The main character in a story is almost always round.

Flat Characters that are not described well, that you're not given much information about, are flat characters. They do not change, develop, or grow in the story. They are the opposite of round characters. They usually have one or two traits and can be summed up easily.

Round/Flat As a reader, judge whether or not the character is round or flat by considering the traits of the character. If your list is long, with many characteristics, then the character is round. If your list is short, or there's not many characteristics at all, then the character is flat.

Character Types Static/Dynamic

Static: A character who does not learn nor change over the course of the story (they start and finish the story in the same frame of mind).

Dynamic A character who changes or learns from their experiences over the course of the story.

Static/Dynamic The key word when dealing with the difference between static and dynamic characters is "change.“ These would include a major change in their personality, or a change in their outlook on life. Another change that a character may undergo is a change in values, or it could be an overall change in the nature of the character.
