CHARACTERIZATION AND CONFLICT

Flat Characterization A character who has one or two sides, representing one or two traits—often a stereotype. Flat characters help move the plot along more quickly because the audience immediately understands what the character is about. Example: Like a geeky science professor

Round Characterization A character who is complex and has many sides or traits with unpredictable behavior and a fully developed personality. Antagonists are usually a round characterization. Example: Like The Green Goblin (Norman Osborn)

Dynamic Characterization A character who experiences an essential change in personality or attitude. Protagonists are almost always dynamic. Example: Stitch, from Lilo and Stitch

Static Characterization A character who does not change or develop beyond the way in which she or he is first presented. Example:Cinderella’s stepmother.

External Conflict There are three types of external conflict: character vs. character; character vs. society; and character vs. nature.

Character vs. Character The protagonist in the story experiences conflict with others, especially the antagonist.

Character vs. Society The protagonist in the story experiences conflict with society as a whole.

Character vs. Nature The protagonist in the story experiences conflict with the elements of nature.

Internal Conflict The protagonist in the story experiences conflict with her or his conscience.
