This document discusses different types of characters in literature. It begins by defining protagonists, antagonists, and supporting characters. It then provides details on four types of protagonists: the hero, anti-hero, tragic hero, and caricature. Five types of antagonists are also defined: the main antagonist, nemesis, shape-shifter, change agent, and romantic angle. Six types of supporting characters are outlined: the sidekick, mentor, foil, comic relief, extras, and chorus. Finally, it discusses two types of character development - flat characters and round characters. The document contains examples and images to illustrate each character type.
