Characters who develop and change are not only round characters, but often dynamic.

Scrooge changes from a tight-fisted, greedy unhappy man to one who was generous and loved life.

Gru changes

from a villain set

on destroying

the world to a

loving father.

•Characters that are stereotyped share the same traits. (Example: All cheerleaders smile OR all bullies are big people)

•These characters are known by what they do and how they act.

•The author doesn’t need to tell us much about the character because we’ve encountered the stereotype before and can make some inferences.
