Static and Dynamic Characters

Static Character: A character in a literary work who does not change during the course of the story.

Dynamic Character: A character who changes during the course of a literary work. The changes dynamic characters undergo affect their attitudes and beliefs.

Directions: Looking back over the first five chapters of Lord of the Flies, find at least one quotation in each chapter that gives an indication of that character’s personality or beliefs.

After comparing the quotations, decide if this character appears to be changing (dynamic) or is staying the same (static).
