A stock
character is a dramatic or literary character representing a type in a
conventional manner and recurring in many works. The following list labels some
of these archetypes and stereotypes, providing distinctive examples. Often a
thief. Has a strange gait, slouched posture and devious facial expression.
"Stock
characters" are shortcuts to creating characters. As such, you want to
limit their use to secondary characters that nevertheless play important parts
in one or more scenes. Doctors are examples of stock characters. They may play
an important role in saving the life of the hero or heroine, for instance.
A stock character is a stereotypical fictional character
in a work of art such as a novel, play or a film whom audiences recognize from
frequent recurrences in a particular literary tradition. Stock characters are
archetypal characters distinguished by their flatness. As a result, they tend
to be easy targets for parody and to be criticized as clichés. The presence of
a particular array of stock characters is a key component of many genres. The
point of the stock character is to move the story along by allowing the
audience to already understand the character.
