A Quick Note On Character Types for the Novice Writer
by Ryker J. Phoenix
There are a number of character types that can be found in writing fiction. The three most commonly used are the protagonist, the antagonist, and the foil.
- The protagonist is the main character of the story. They are usually the one who drives the plot forward, and the reader is typically meant to sympathize with them.
- The antagonist is the character who stands in opposition to the protagonist, and they are usually the one responsible for creating the most conflict in the story.
- The foil is a character who is used to highlight the protagonist's traits, and they are typically not as developed as the other characters in the story.
