What is the difference between the character and the image in the novel?

The characters in novels were closely related but different concepts. The character's personality refers to the character's personality, psychological description, behavior, and other aspects of the description. It is the performance of the character's inner world. The description of the character's personality helps the readers to better understand the inner world of the character, explore the process of the character's formation, and better shape the character's image. The character image referred to the external image of the characters in the novel, including the description of appearance, clothing, language, behavior, and so on. The creation of the character's image is to express the character's identity, status, occupation, personality, emotions and other characteristics, so that the reader can better understand the character's identity and background in order to better understand the story. In a novel, the character's personality and image are both important elements that help to better shape the character's image and enhance the novel's expressiveness.
