Character Types

Character types refer to categories used to describe the roles or traits of characters in literature or media. They help us understand what kind of person a character is and how they behave. Common types include the protagonist (main character), antagonist (opposes the protagonist), and supporting characters (assist or interact with the main character). Additionally, characters can be classified based on traits like heroes, villains, sidekicks, or mentors. Recognizing these types helps us analyze stories, understand motivations, and grasp how characters contribute to the overall theme or message.
