How can we classify the kinds of characters in a novel?
One way is by their role in the story. As I mentioned before, protagonists and antagonists are big categories. Another way is by their personality traits. Are they brave, cowardly, kind - hearted, or cruel? We can also classify them based on their development in the story. Dynamic characters change, while static ones don't. For instance, in 'The Great Gatsby', Gatsby is a complex character. His role as a protagonist is clear, his personality is a mix of romantic and naive, and he is a somewhat static character in that his dreams don't really change even as the world around him does.
Characters can be classified by their social status in the novel's world. There are upper - class characters, middle - class, and lower - class. Their social status often affects their actions and interactions. For example, in 'Anna Karenina', Anna is an upper - class woman, and her social status both gives her certain privileges and restricts her in many ways. Levin, on the other hand, is a landowner, a different kind of upper - class figure. And then there are servants and peasants as lower - class characters, and their roles are very different from those of the upper - class characters in the story.
