STOCK CHARACTER

This is a character that will shows up in the story that is common in other literary texts. We assume characteristics about them based on their role in other stories.

Example: fairy godmother, wise old man

STEREOTYPE

When a character acts, speaks, dresses, or moves in a certain way based solely on their gender, age, race, religion, or socioeconomic status. PREDICTABLE behaviors. Usually inaccurate

ROUND CHARACTER

This is a character that we know a lot about. We may know their background, their long term and short term goals. They are generally a major character.

Example:

FLAT CHARACTER

A minor character in a work of fiction. This character DOES NOT have a substantial change or growth during the story. Also can be referred to as a “two dimensional ” character.

Example:

STATIC CHARACTER

A character that DOES NOT CHANGE throughout the course of the story or literary work.

Example:

DYNAMIC CHARACTER

This character undergoes a significant physical or emotional change because of or related to the action in the plot. Their beliefs, attitude, lifestyle, and/or outlook are dramatically changed.

Examples:

FOIL CHARACTER A character who contrasts with another character

(usually the protagonist) and so highlights/emphasizes various facets of the main character’s personality.

At first glance, the two character will seem the same (gender, age, race, status); however, something about one character’s personality will be so different that it will show us something about our protagonist.

FLASHBACK REVIEW Protagonist: main character of the story who drives the

plot Antagonist: the character or force who creates conflict with

the Protagonist and attempts to keep them from reaching his/her goal

Direct development is when the narrator makes a direct statement to describe a character.

Indirect character development happens through actions and dialogue which describe a character.

Character Motivation: Well developed characters have a clear motivation that helps explain their actions throughout a story. Some examples of motivation: To save a relationship To gain their freedom / independence To achieve success To learn the truth

PARAPHRASING THE PROLOGUE

PARAPHRASING THE PROLOGUE (PG. 901)

1    Two households, both alike in dignity,   2    In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,   3    From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,   4    Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.   5    From forth the fatal loins of these two foes   6    A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;   7    Whose misadventured piteous overthrows   8    Do with their death bury their parents' strife.   9    The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,  10    And the continuance of their parents' rage,  11    Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,  12    Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;  13    The which if you with patient ears attend,  14    What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.
