In stories there are always those stereotype characters that you just know will be there. Some of them could be like a wise old man to guide the hero to go and save everyone like he's supposed to. There is a wise old man in The Lion King, and that is Rafiki. Rafiki found Simba and showed him how he could talk to his father so then Simba could get some sense into him to go back and save his home. Another stereotype is the hero of course, and that would be Simba. The bad guy stereotype in The Lion King would be Scar. He is the bad guy because he killed Mufasa and told Simba to run away so he could take over as king of Pride Rock. One more stereotype is the side kicks that help the hero save everyone and win in the end. Simba's sidekicks in the movie are Timon and Pumba. When Simba ran away Timon and Pumba where his only friends and they helped him survive in the jungle. Also when Simba went back to challenge Scar they created a diverson for the hyenas so Simba could get pasted. All of these stereotypes are what puts the whole story together and without them there wouldn't be any story.

    An archetypal character is a hero, a villan, a mentor, or an outcast. There are a lot of examples of archetypal characters in The Lion King. For example there is Simba. Simba is an archetypal character because he is the hero who saved everyone in his home from when Scar was king and brought the hyenas to live with the lions. Scar could also be an archetypal character because he is the villan who took over as king after he killed Simba's Father, Mufasa and told Simba to run away. Some more archetypal characters are Timon and Pumba. They are archetypal charcters because they don't really belong anywhere and they are outcasts in the jungle, along with Simba when he left his home and went with them.  

    Well first of all the protagonist is the main character and most of the time is the hero. The antagonist is the character that has a conflict with the protagonist. The antagonist doesn't have to be a person either. It could be an obstacle or a force of nature. The protagonist in The Amazing Spiderman was obviously Peter. He is the protagonist because he is the one trying to help everyone and he has the powers to do it. He also saves the whole city from a giant lizard thing. The giant lizard is actually our antagonist. He was Dr. Conners, Peter's dad's old friend, and he was trying to grow himself a new arm with a liquid that he injected into a three legged rat, and it worked on the rat so he tried it on himself. Something went wrong with the liquid when he injected himself with it and turned him into a giant lizard. He is the antagonist because he destroyed everything and tried to get everyone to become what he was. Peter had to stop him of course, so he sent Gwen to the lab to make an antidote to the liquid to cure Dr. Conners so he would stop what he was doing, and he did end up stopping Dr. Conners.

    A dynamic character is one that changes or grows as a result of events in the film. A static character is one that changes very little or not at all. Our dynamic character would be Peter. It is Peter because he went from being a lonely high school kid and all he did was take pictures, and now he is this great hero and he can climb up walls and shoot webs from his hands. Another dynamic character could be Dr. Conners. I think he is one because he turned into a huge and crazy lizard and was trying to destroy everything in the city and tried to poison everyone and turn them into what he was. A static character could be Gwen. I say Gwen because before Peter she didn't think anything like super heroes where even possible, so basically only her state of mind changed. Another static character could be Peter's Aunt May. I say this because after her husband, Uncle Ben, died she was very different. She and Peter didn't really talk and she wasn't ever really happy anymore.
