- Understand Their Role in the Story
Define their purpose: Are they the protagonist, antagonist, or a supporting character?
Clarify how they drive the plot or connect to the themes.
故事里人物类型有三种:主角(protagonist),反派(antagonist),配角(supporting character)。
主角的成长是故事主线,是读者代入共情的点。反转可以发生在主角最终得到她需要的,而不是她以为想要的。
反派是阻碍主角成长的力量。
配角可以给主角打辅助,也可以给主角的成长增加挑战。
