Character Types 
By Rebecca Burrell
Everyman character 
‘Everyman character’ = An ordinary person, the typical or average 
person – representative of the human race. 
An ‘everyman cheater’ is the character that is empathetic to all 
regarding the audience. They are usually popular in the fact that 
they tend to stand in a larger group of friends whom are more 
interesting and supporting towards the narrative. 
3 everyman characters: Seth from ‘Super bad’ because he does 
everything to get into the bigger crowd to be somebody. Ted from 
‘How I Met Your Mother’ because through the entire series he is 
represented as that average guy who’s getting old and has yet to 
settle down and find someone finally worth marrying to building a 
family with. Piper from ‘Orange Is the New Black’ because she is the 
average woman who simply made one mistake and it got her in 
prison, but she is not the conventional prison type so she is trying to 
find her place, her group, and the person she needs to be in order 
to survive prison life for 15 months.
Archetype 
Archetype: Archetype is a typical universal type of 
character that is found in many different media texts. 
This can be applied to Plato’s theory of forms as he said 
that everything in life is a copy of its creator i.e. a writers 
characters in a script are copies of people that already 
exists – there is no such thing as an original character (no 
such things as a character being an ‘idea’ as it was already 
there in real life). 
Jung said that archetypes are not fixed to characters as 
there is an endless amount of different kinds of archetypes, 
so characters mostly do not even fit underneath one 
category as they can be under many different ones, 
especially since archetypes are such a flexible concept.
