    Who is the main character in any literary work?  - ProProfs

    Who is the main character in any literary work? 

    • Protagonist

    • Antagonist

    • Male

    • Female

    Correct Answer
    A. Protagonist
    Explanation
    The main character in any literary work is typically referred to as the protagonist. The protagonist is the central character who drives the plot and is usually the character with whom the reader or audience sympathizes or relates to the most. They are often the hero or heroine of the story and are faced with challenges or conflicts that they must overcome. The antagonist, on the other hand, is the character or force that opposes the protagonist and creates obstacles for them. The terms "male" and "female" are not necessarily indicative of the main character's role or significance in a literary work.

    Which of these is not a method of literary characterization? 

    • Physical Description 

    • Action

    • Speech 

    • Introduction

    Correct Answer
    A. Introduction
    Explanation
    Introduction is not a method of literary characterization because it refers to the way a character is initially presented or introduced to the reader. It usually includes providing background information, such as their name, age, and occupation. While introduction is an important aspect of storytelling, it is not a method used to develop or reveal a character's traits, personality, or motivations, which are typically done through physical description, actions, and speech.

    Explanation
    A static character is known as a stable character because they do not undergo significant changes or growth throughout the story. They remain consistent in their personality, beliefs, and behavior from the beginning to the end. This stability makes them predictable and less dynamic compared to other characters who may experience development or transformation.
