Let’s Talk About Characterization

Where and how to we find information about characters?

- Author/narrator description- personality, attitude, behavior, style/interests

- Descriptions by other characters- Dialogue of that character- Interactions with other characters (actions & dialogue)- Behavior in various situations (actions & dialogue)

Let’s Get Academic

Dynamic Character

A character that changes over the course of the story

(usually as a result of the events of the plot)

Static Character

A character that doesn’t change during a story (despite the events that happen in the

plot).

Consider Some Examples

More Awesome TermsRound Character

A character with multiple personality traits and several sides to his/her personality.

Flat CharacterA character that has only 1

character trait or only 1 side to his/her personality.

These characters are usually dynamic.

These characters are often static, BUT it is possible for a character to develop from flat

to round. Doing so makes him/her dynamic!!

Page 7: By F. Scott Fitzgerald. Let’s Talk About Characterization What terms can we already use to talk about character? -Physical appearance -Attitudes -Relationships

Consider Some Other Examples

Han: Dynamic

Chewbacca:Flat & Static

Hermione: Round & Dynamic

Draco:Seems flat and static at first.

In later books we learn more about him and he becomes “rounder”.

Then in the final books he acts in a way that suggests a change in character - he has become dynamic!

Group Work
