Character
\n<\/strong>A personage in a narrative or dramatic work; also a kind of prose sketch briefly describing some recognizable type of person. As a minor literary genre, the character originates with the Characters of Theophrastus; it was revived in the 17th<\/sup> century, notably by sir Thomas Overbury in his Characters (1614) and by La Bruy\u00e8re in Les Characters (1688).
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Characterization
\n<\/strong>The representation of persons in narrative and dramatic works. This may include direct methods like the attribution of qualities in description or commentary, and indirect (or dramatic) methods inviting readers to infer qualities from characters\u2019 action, speech or appearance. Since E. M. Forster\u2019s Aspects of the Novel (1927) a distinction has often been made between \u2018flat\u2019 and \u2018two-dimensional\u2019 characters, which are simple and unchanging, and \u2018round\u2019 characters which are complex, \u2018dynamic\u2019 (i. e. subject to development), and less predictable.<\/p>\n

Character<\/strong><\/p>\n

[p. 224] \u00a0At the heart of the trad. Of the Theophrastan characters lies the philosophical question of reference, i. e. the mechanism underlying how words refer either to abstract ideals and generic types or to concret, particular individuals. (\u2026) Further developments take place in the 17th<\/sup>-c. Spain and France. In his Or\u00e1culo manual y arte de prudencia<\/em> (1647), Baltasar Graci\u00e1n lists behaviors the reader can adopt, according to circumstance, for self-benefit. In turn, his descriptions refer not to types and individuals imbued with definable moral qualities but to virtual convention. Finally in his 1688 Caract\u00e8res<\/em>, Jean de La Bruy\u00e8re, like Jonson, assigns his characters proper names, seeing to mark again the union between concrete description and particular reference. Unlike Jonson, however, his proper names refer not to actual individuals but to fictional characters, thereby introducing a new referential territory, a virtual space between the particular and the generic. (\u2026)<\/p>\n

Ethos<\/strong><\/p>\n

[p. 464] (Gr. \u201ccustom\u201d, \u201ccharacter\u201d). In cl. rhet. one means of persuasion: an audience\u2019s assessment of a speaker\u2019s moral character (e.g. honesty, benevolence, intelligence) primarily as reflected in the discourse, although at least secondarily dependent on the speaker\u2019s prior reputation.<\/p>\n

(\u2026) This conceptually close relation between ethos and pathos is evident not only in cl. rhetorical treatises but in the long trad. of writing characters. (\u2026) The devel. of \u201chumoral psychology\u201d and such works as Ben Johnson\u2019s Every Man in His Humour further reveal the traditionally close union of ethos and pathos. (T.O. Sloane)<\/p>\n

Prosopopoeia<\/strong>
\n1120 (Gr. prosopon \u201cface\u201d, \u201cperson\u201d and poiein \u201cto make\u201d). The speech of an imaginary person.<\/p>\n

[p. 1121] A term still used for personification \u2013the attribution of human qualities to animals or inanimate objects- to which it is closely allied. (\u2026) (T.V.F.Brogan, A.W. Halsall; J.S. Sychterz)<\/p>\n
