Characterization: various means by which an author describes and develops characters in a literary work. Direct characterization tells the audience what the personality of the character is. Indirectcharacterization the personality of a character isrevealed through the character"s speech, actions, appearance, etc. Static characters do not change significantly over the course of a work, no matter what action takes place. Dynamic characters change (for better or worse) in response to circumstance and experience. Protagonist is the main character (the central or primary figure) of a narrative. The protagonist is often in primary conflict with another character. Antagonist is the character pitted against the protagonist. An evil or cruel antagonist is a villain; however, an antagonist is not necessarily a villain.
