Character Arc - the personal journey a character takes throughout a novel • The Change Arc: the protagonist undergoes a radical personal change that transforms him/her from one type of person to a totally different type of person. • The Growth Arc: the protagonist overcomes an internal opposition (weakness, fear, the past etc. ) while he faces an external opposition; as a result, he becomes a fuller, better person. He’s still pretty much who he was, just upgraded to Protagonist 2. 0. • The Shift Arc (variant of the Growth Arc): the protagonist changes his perspective , learns different skills , or gains a different role. The end-result is not “better” or more than the starting point, just different. The protagonist has not overcome a grand inner resistance; he/she simply gained a new set of skills or assumed a new position, maybe discovered a talent he forgot he had, or began a different vocation. • The Fall Arc: commonly known as a “tragedy”, the Fall Arc follows the protagonist as he dooms himself and/or others, and declines into insanity, immorality, or death.
