Jeremy howthrone A novelist uses character for different purposes to show that there are different types of characters.

Kennedy n gioia p.67 An imagined person who inhabits a story although that simple definition may admit to few exceptions. If the story seems true to life , we generally find that characters act in reasonably consistent manner, and that the author has provided them with motivation. Motivation: sufficient reason to behave as they do. Types of characters: Flat characters has only one outstanding trait or feature, or at most a few distinguishing marks. Round character Round characters presents us with more facets that is, their authors portray them in greater depth and in more generous detail.

Character is the term used to describe the people in fiction (Mc Laughlin, 1989: 374). This element of novel has several types flat which are character, character, round character, and static dynamic character. Flat character is a character has only one outstanding trait or feature, or at most a few distinguishing marks. Flat characters tend to stay the same throughout the story. Next is round character defined as characters present us with more facets-that is, their authors portray them in greater depth and is more generous in detail. Such a round character may appear to us only as he appears to other characters in the story. Static character is a character tends to have a same characteristics or personality, while a character has changing in some way called as dynamic character (Kennedy & Gioia, 1995, p.68).

Definition and characteristics Character is terms for people in fiction. The characters in action are, in facts, the same with plot. In depth, by learning the motivation of particular characters we understand the whole story about to tell. Characters are varying greatly depending on the roles they play in the story (Mc Laughlin, 1989: 375). For that instance, characters differ in their ability to change. There are four types of characters based on their ability to change, the first is Flat character which is a character has only one outstanding trait or feature, or at most a few distinguishing marks. Flat characters tend to stay the same throughout the story.

Such a round character may appear to us only as he appears to other characters in the story. Static character is a character tends to have a same characteristics or personality, while a character has changing in some way called as dynamic character (Kennedy & Gioia, 1995, p.68). Furthermore, there is a typical hierarchy of characters in story based on how much of our interest and sympathy they demand. In this categorization there are central characters, foil characters, minor characters, and pawns. Central characters are those whose fates in story we observe. They are the protagonists, antagonists, or those whose plays as central to the plot. In analysis, we are watching how they behave, how the consequences of actions changing them. Central character usually accompanied by foil characters which function is to bring out the central characters (commonly heros character) human side. After those two, the third is Minor characters which provide needed functions such as local color and showing the social and regional setting of the story. The lasts but still quiet important is mere pawns which in the story this kinds of characters necessary only to the movement of the action.

as in analysis, we, the readers behave likes an amateur psychologists trying to imagine inner workings of a characters mind based on their behavior and appearance (mc Laughlin 1989: 375).
