1. Character and Characterization
A story cannot be called as a story without any characters in it. In narrative or dramatic and film works. It usually uses the term characters and characterizations. In
the theory of characters and characterization, usually many authors will take two ways or methods to provide and consider the character in their film.
Character is presumably an imagined that inhabits a story. Most stories feature a central character, usually we recognize, in the main character of the story, human
personalities that become familiar to us. If the story seems true of life we generally find that its character act in a reasonably consistent manner and the author has
provided them with motivation. A character on the stage who can present no convincing argument or
information as to his past experience, his present behavior or his aspirations, nor give a comprehensive analysis of his motives is as legitimate and as worthy of attention as
one who, alarmingly, can do all these things. The more acute the experience the less articulate is its expression.

It can be seen from the role and story the importance of character in a story, there is important pertained of character and presented to be continuous so that felt
predominates some of stories and conversely. So character is people or human whosoever what does certain the actual of story either that is human or non-human.
Typically, character actors lack some of the stereotypical physical attributes associated with stars. A character actor may be very short or very tall, heavy or thin,
balding, or simply unconventional-looking... A character actor is usually playing a character that does not go through a major change in the course of the movie. They
tend to help the leading character aspire the major change that always occurs to himher.

Characters in fiction are customarily divided into several types. Round and dynamic character are more lifelike. They exhibit greater subtlety in terms of
behavior and motivation. They have dimension hence round. Round characters, however, present us with more facets-that is, their authors portray them in greater
depth and in more generous detail. Strictly speaking, a dynamic character is on who undergoes some significant change during the course of the event related. He or she is
generally rounded. However, not every rounded character is dynamic. Major character are likely to be round, while minor characters are apt to be
flat. Thought the play’s language and the actions of the characters, readers learn

whether the players are multi-dimensional characters, skimpily developed characters, characters whose main purpose is to shed light on more important character.
Characterization
is the means by which writers present and reveal character.

Character creation is the art of characterization what the author does to bring a character to life, to provide the reader with a sense of that character’s personality, to
make that character unique. Authors can characterize or develop a character directly or indirectly. In direct characterization, the narrator or a character summarizes or
tells the reader what another character looks like or what kind of person he or she is. In indirect characterization, narrators and characters describe, with out comment, a
character’s appearance or dress. In this way they suggest something about the character’s personality. A character’s repeated gesture or a facial tic, for example,
may imply a character’s arrogance or nervousness.
