Characterization Terms

  • Direct Characterization - the reader is told directly by the author how a character is
  • Indirect Characterization - the reader learns about a character through their actions, decisions, etc.
  • Round Characters - complex, easier to analyze, more personality
  • Flat Characters - characters without a deeper meaning, they're just there to fill space, no explanation as to why they are the way they are.
  • Stock Characters - stereotypical character
  • Static Characters - same throughout the entire story, don't change at all
  • Dynamic Characters - develop and change throughout the story
