Who do 'characters' refer to in a narrative?

Objects that enhance the plot
Secondary elements in the story
Main individuals involved in the action
Settings that create mood

The correct answer is: Main individuals involved in the action

In a narrative, 'characters' refer to the main individuals involved in the action of the story. These are the people, animals, or beings that have distinct personalities, motivations, and roles within the plot. Characters drive the narrative forward through their interactions, conflicts, and developments, and they often serve as the focal point through which readers experience the story. The audience becomes engaged with characters as they relate to their challenges and growth throughout the narrative. Understanding characters is vital for grasping the themes and emotional depth of a story, making them integral to narrative comprehension.
