A character theory is used to understanding media, such as print or electronic media texts or productions such as films and plays. It is useful for analysing and understanding media in which people take on the role of an actor or social actor. Character theories are popular with academics teaching and researching media and film studies. This is because they assist in the appreciation of the structure of different types of media and the roles of the characters, fictional or otherwise that are portrayed in them. Character theories are often based on stereotypes, and the different characteristics that make them up can either be used for positive or negatives purposes〔Hinton, P. (2000. Stereotype, Cognition and Culture. Psychology Press. ISBN 0-415-19866-6〕 == Goffman's character theory == Erving Goffman's character theory 〔Goffman, E. (1959). The presentation of self in everyday life. Garden City, NY: Doubleday〕 suggests that there are four main types of broad character in a media text or production; # The protagonist (leading character) # The deuteragonist (secondary character) # The bit player (minor character whose specific background the audience is not aware of) # The fool (a character that uses humor to convey messages) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Character theory (media)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
