Character types are the moulds which a great deal of characters in fiction are made from, from the ‘mad scientist’ type featured in countless science fiction and horror novels, to the ‘strong, silent’ type present in almost every single action movie ever made. They can be traced back to ancient Greek theatre, where ‘stock’ characters would be used in order to quickly provide the audience with personalities and action derived from those personalities which would be immediately familiar and recognizable to the audience.
