Question

Give an example of a complex character from a movie you have seen and an example of a flat, static character. Explain why each character fits the definitions.

Answer 1

Ebeneezer Scrooge for your dynamic character (or the grinch) and Scar from the Lion King (Simbas uncle) for static. The grinch (or Ebeneezer) finally understand why everyone loves christmas and they learn to enjoy it over time too. They finally warm up and see the importance of bringing people together in the end. Scar from the lion king doesn’t change his thinking throughout the movie in any way and he continues to torment the rest of the characters until his death at the end.
