Character Roles

Character roles refer to the functions that different characters serve within a story, whether in literature, film, or other narratives. Common roles include the protagonist, who drives the story forward, and the antagonist, who opposes the protagonist. Supporting characters enrich the narrative, providing depth and context. They can include mentors, allies, or comic relief. Understanding these roles helps audiences grasp the dynamics and themes of a story, enhancing their overall appreciation of the narrative structure and character development. Each role contributes to the storytelling by creating conflict, supporting themes, and engaging the audience.
