Character & Characterization

5 Character Types That Appear in Fiction
One way to classify characters is by examining how they change (or don’t change) over the course of a
story. Grouped in this way by character development, character types include the dynamic character,
the round character, the static character, the stock character, and the symbolic character.

1. Dynamic character: A dynamic character is one who changes over the course of the story. As
such, a dynamic character makes the best protagonist. In Mark Twain’s The Adventures of
Huckleberry Finn, both Huck and Jim are dynamic characters. Similarly, each character in the
love triangle of William Styron’s Sophie’s Choice—Stingo, Sophie, and Nathan—is a dynamic
character.
2. Round character: Closely related to a dynamic character, a round character is a major character
who shows fluidity and the capacity for change from the moment we meet them. By contrast,
some dynamic protagonists do not change until actions in the story force that change. Round
characters can be noble, like Konstantin Levin in Anna Karenina, or morally dubious, like
Humbert Humbert in Lolita.
3. Static character: A static character does not noticeably change over the course of a story.
Sometimes known as a flat character, these characters often play tertiary roles in a narrative
(think of various parental figures in Roald Dahl’s children's books). Many villains are also static:
They were evil yesterday, they’ll be evil today, and they’ll be evil tomorrow.
4. Stock character: A stock character is an archetypal character with a fixed set of personality
traits. Shakespeare’s various fools are stock characters, as are some of his comic creations like
Sir Andrew and Sir Toby in Twelfth Night.
5. Symbolic character: A symbolic character represents a concept or theme larger than themselves.
They may have dynamic qualities, but they also exist to subtly steer an audience’s mind toward
broader concepts. Most are supporting characters, but some stories have symbolic protagonists,
such as Dostoevsky’s The Idiot. When it comes to symbolic supporting characters, Boo Radley
in To Kill A Mockingbird is an example, representing a much larger legion of outcasts.

Plot
Plot is the way an author creates and organizes a chain of events in a narrative. In short, plot is the
foundation of a story. Some describe it as the "what" of a text (whereas the characters are the "who"
and the theme is the "why"). This is the basic plot definition. But what does plot  do?

The plot must follow a logical, enticing format that draws the reader in. Plot differs from "story" in that
it highlights a specific and purposeful cause-and-effect relationship between a sequence of major events
in the narrative.

All plots follow a logical organization with a beginning, middle, and end—but there’s a lot more to the
basic plot structure than just this. Generally speaking, every plot has these five elements in this order:

1. Exposition/introduction
2. Rising action
3. Climax/turning point
4. Falling action
5. Resolution/denouement

Setting is the time and place (or when and where) of the story. It’s a literary element of literature used
in novels, short stories, plays, films, etc., and usually introduced during the exposition (beginning) of the
story, along with the characters. The setting may also include the environment of the story, which can
be made up of the physical location, climate, weather, or social and cultural surroundings.
There are various ways that time and place indicate setting. Time can cover many areas, such as the
character’s time of life, the time of day, time of year, time period such as the past, present, or future,
etc. Place also covers a lot of areas, such as a certain building, room in a building, country, city, beach, in
a mode of transport such as a car, bus, boat, indoors or out, etc.  The setting of a story can change
throughout the plot. The environment includes geographical location such as beach or mountains, the
climate and weather, and the social or cultural aspects such as a school, theatre, meeting, club, etc.
