a literary work.
Characters can be major

narrative to its end
Round, when they possess the
complexity of real people
Characters can also be:

person in whose plight the reader is most invested.
Antagonist, the character who opposes the main
character, also the counterpart to the main character
and source of a story’s main conflict; may not be “bad”
or “evil” by any conventional moral standard, but
he/she opposes the protagonist in a significant way.
Her face was not young, but it was

mild. She had large eyes which were
not bright, and a great deal of hair
which was not ‘dressed,’ and long
fine hands which were–possibly–not
