Three Types of Character When Viewed


From The Side of His Involvement In The
Plot Moving
Central character is a character that very potential
moving plot. Central character is the center of the
story, the causes of conflict.
Subordinate character are figures that are not so
great influence on the development of the plot,
although he is also involved in the plot development.
Background character are figures that have absolutely
no effect on plot development. His presence was just
a natural setting, turn on the backlight function.

Viewed From Nature of The


Character
The protagonist is the character who fight
for truth and honesty, as well as having
good character.
The antagonist is a character that is
against truth and honesty, and has an bad
temper. (Remember, the antagonist is not
necessarily bad)

The Importance of A Character In The


Story
The main character is a character in the story its
telling preferred concerned. He is the most
telling character, both as cast and subjected to
incident occurrence.
Additional Character is a character that appears
only slightly in the story or not overlooked and
its presence only if there is a relation with the
main character, directly or indirectly, and only
appear to be a background story.

Character Dimensions
MAJOR
Major characters are
frequently, albeit not
exclusively, multidimensional and
dynamic (round
character)

MINOR
minor characters often
remain monodimensional and static
(flat character)

Multi-dimensional characters display several


(even conflicting) character traits and are thus
reasonably complex. They also tend to develop
throughout the plot (hence, dynamic), though
this is not necessarily the case.
Mono-dimensional characters, on the other
hand, can usually be summarised by a single
phrase or statement, i.e., they have only few
character traits and are generally merely types.
Frequently, mono-dimensional characters are
also static, i.e., they do not develop or change
during the play.

Based On The Possibility of


Reflection In Real Life
A typical Character is a figure that is only bit
displayed state of individuality, and the more
highlighted the quality of his nationality or his
work (Altenbernd & Lewis (in Nurgiantoro 2002:
190) or something else that is representing.

Neutral Character are character that exist in the


story itself. He is an imaginary character who
only live and exist in the world of fiction

repetition is a principle that can find and
