There are three different types of characters. Each of the types are very different and can be hard to recognize without the definition of them. Here are the types of characters and the definitions:
Static Character:
A static character is an undeveloped, one-denominational figure. He/she is know by one or more character traits that remain constant through out the narrative ( Story/play )
Remember: Static Characters stay the same
Dynamic Character:
A dynamic character is complex and realistic, like real people, a dynamic character changes or develops during the course of their life ( or the narrative )
Remember: Dynamic characters Develop
Stereotypes:
Stereotypes are stock characters that often appear in particular genres. A stereotype character is one that is an over simplified image of a particular type of the person, for example: one stereotype that is often found in the murder mystery genre is the well - intended but fumbling police officer.
