Characters

Character:
-man vs man
-man vs himself
-man vs nature
-man vs technology
-man vs society

2 kinds of characters:
-Flat =caricature    1 over-the-top characteristics
           archetype    2-3 characteristics
-Round
In the book The Land Lady, Billy finds the lady to be a caricature because she's crazy old lady but we the readers find her to be a archetype because at the end we find out that she is a cold-hearted killer that stuffs her costumers.
Billy is POLITE/HONEST, TRUSTING, CURIOUS, NAIVE.
Gelable: when someone tries to sell something silly to a person and they buy it
Land Lady: PICKY, FAKE, SECRETIVE, SWEET, MANIPULATIVE.
Analogy: The land lady is to Billy as a spider is to fly.

Both of these characters are ROUND characters.
When a character changes = A GROWING CHARACTER
The change comes as a result of CONFLICT
