Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 11   AIL 1012 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Static and Dynamic: Change

Captions available

The idea

Static and dynamic describe whether a character is different at the end. A static character finishes as they began; a dynamic one has altered in values, attitudes or understanding. This axis says nothing about how complex the character was to begin with.

In practice

Different at the end, or not.

Where people slip

Change, not complexity.
