Recommended: Into the wild character analysis

Throughout many texts, people are able to pick out which characters they like the best. Many choose their favorite characters due to the similarity of traits that they have in common with them. Others may distinguish their favorite character just because they find them interesting and entertaining. Some people may like the silliness that a character portrays and others prefer characters that have more seriousness. For example, in the popular story of Winnie the Pooh, there is a wide range of different personalities. Winnie is very calm and down to earth, Tiger is always excited, Eeyore is very sad and depressed, Piglet is cute and nice to be around, Rabbit is always annoyed by the rest of the characters, the Owl is very wise, and Christopher Robin is playful and young. Your own personality plays a big role on which character you like the best. In A Midsummer Night’s Dream, my favorite character would have to be Hermia because she wants to be independent, she has a strong character, and she is cautious. Hermia is my favorite character in a Midsummer Night’s Dream because she wants to...

  • Personality is the Basis of Psychology

    567 Words  | 2 Pages

    It requires a lot of reflection and is so complex that even Psychologists have studied it for years without completely understanding what the complexity entails; it is called personality. Personality is so important in our relations with others because it is our lifeline or link between communication and people. Usually when we meet someone, we end up describing him or her in type categories such as: tall, short, bright, witty, amiable, or pretty. While these general descriptions are accurate, they are just a small part of what may or may not represent a person. What actually represents someone is their personality but because human beings are so complex, we use adjectives as a partial description in a simplistic but futile attempt to understand them.

  • The Round, Flat, and Stock Characters of Rip Van Winkle

    955 Words  | 2 Pages

    One particular criterion character effectively supports the central idea in “Rip Van Winkle” by Washington Irving. The character's type develops with the personality development throughout the story. Three types of characters: round, flat, and stock, appear in most stories. The round character displays a fully developed personality and full emotions. Flat characters, also known as supporting characters, do not develop fully or express complex emotions. A stock character, also known as a stereotype, fits an established characterization from real life or literature. With these three types of characters leading the reader through the story, the reader learns the events taking place as well as the changes in the character’s lives. The author keeps the reader informed of the changes affecting the characters throughout the narrative through style. When a character undergoes a fundamental change in nature or personality during the story, the character has dynamic style. However, a character without change defines a static character. Although all characters have a style and type sometimes understanding the differences appears complicated. A chart often helps establish a better understanding of character type and style.

The writer needs to keep in mind that characters should be real people, not only to the writer but to the author as well. Many people are visual, and a good way to help the reader visualize characters is to describe them. Give the reader information such as, hair color, eye color, age, build and gender. This helps give the reader something which they can see and understand creating a deeper connection (How to Write). Another way which an author may describe characters is through their traits.

    "When you choose your friends, don 't be short-changed by choosing personality over character." In one sentence, William Somerset Maugham encapsulates the difference between personality and character. The two words are so similar that they are used as synonyms in everyday conversation, yet beyond colloquial use character and personality are not so alike.
