What isCharacter Development?

Character development is...

When you read a story or watch a movie, you may see that some characters change from the start to the end. This change is called character development. It’s like how you grow and learn in real life, but for the character, it happens in the story!

How do characters change?

They change because of what happens to them like Simba from The Lion King. At first, he’s a scared cub who runs away from his problems, but after many adventures, he learns to be brave and becomes the king.

They change because of what they feel:Sometimes a character learns something about themselves. For example, in Inside Out, Joy realizes that sadness isn’t always bad and that all emotions are important.

They change because of others:Remember Gru in Despicable Me? At first, he’s a mean villain who only cares about being the best bad guy, but the little girls he adopts help him become loving and kind.
