    -Static Character: a character who does not change significantly through the story
    -Dynamic Character: a character who undergoes significant changes through the story
    -Symbolic Character: a character who stands for an idea or emotion and is used to represent it (can be used ironically!!)
    -Foil: a character whose traits highlight the traits of another character through juxtaposition (ie, Draco and Harry, Ron and Hermione, Nick and Gatsby)
    -Monologue: a speech given by a character, which is lengthy and uninterrupted
    -Aside: line spoken directly to the audience, that no one else on stage is supposed to hear (Hamlet has lots of them)
    -Soliloquy: similar to a monologue, but is supposedly an inner dialogue, meant to be heard by none of the other characters. So the love child of an aside and a monologue.
