theory of character

there are 8 types of characters in films

the hero – save the day

the villain – the enemy of the hero

the donor – give the hero something example weapons or knowledge

the dispatcher/ messenger – pass the message to the hero

the false hero – fake on being the hero

the helper – help the main character

the princess – what is needed to be saved

the father – what give respect

an example i’m going to use is “venom” (2018 Ruben Fleischer)

the hero – Eddie Brock

the villain – Carlton Drake and riot

the donor – venom

messenger – Dora Skirth

false hero – Carlton Drake

the princess – Anne Weying and earth
