Collection 3: Characters in Motion

Conflict There are three main types of conflict: When two or more characters have opposing goals or interests. When a character’s goal is opposed by circumstances or the environment. When a character’s goals are held back by the character’s nature.

Two Categories of Conflict External- a conflict between a character and other character or the environment. Internal- a conflict between a character and his/her own personality and values.

Protagonist The main character of a story. Often called the “hero” or “heroine” in a story.

Antagonist The character or force of nature that opposes the protagonist. Often this is called the “villain” or “villainess” in a story.

Subordinate Character Minor characters. These characters mainly help move the plot along. EXAMPLES: Tracy (Initiation), Ivan (TMDG), The Announcer (Harrison Bergeron), Elizabeth’s Mother (Marigolds), Madame Forestier (The Necklace).

Flat Character A character with only one or two character traits. EXAMPLE: Bev (Initiation), Whitney (TMDG), The Ballerina (Harrison Bergeron), John Burke (Marrigolds), The Cab Driver (The Necklace).

Round Character A complex character with many traits. Usually the protagonist or antagonist. EXAMPLE: Milicent (Initiation), Rainsford (TMDG), Roger (Thank You Ma’am), Von Gradwitz (Interlopers), Mathilde (The Necklace).
