	Fictional character - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Minor characters, or stock characters, are often the focus of this kind of analysis since they tend to rely more heavily on stereotypes than more central characters.
		The protagonist (main character, sometimes known as the "hero" or the "heroine") of a traditional novel is almost always a round character; a minor, supporting character in the same novel may be a flat character.

	Anime News Network - Review
		On the surface, it easily satisfies the stereotypical expectations of anime — though those expectations had not yet solidified in 1965, when the series was created.
		This realism can be at times painful, as major characters die tragic deaths, at times enlightening, as the topics of slavery and equality for all living things are explored, but for the most part, it add a very satisfying dimension to what may otherwise have been a flat show.
		For example, characters who should know each other need to be reintroduced in later episodes, stories that have been told already are repeated as if they’re new, and details of certain events shift slightly throughout the show’s 52 episode run.

	SparkNotes: Angels in America: Analysis of Major Characters
		While it is always problematic, albeit tempting, to equate author with character, we can at least infer from the similarity between Louis and Kushner that Kushner does not intend Louis to be seen as a heartless villain, as some readers have proposed.
		The characters who seem the most confident: the strong, the opinionated, the straight-acting, those who wield influence and wealth in the world—the Roys, Joes and Louises—are humbled and changed.
		Roy assumes he is persecuted for his Judaism in part because he does not like other Jews; part of what fuels his hatred of Ethel is her Jewishness (likewise, his attraction to Joe is indivisible from Joe's image as an all-American Gentile).
