Representation and Emotional Themes in Story Design


Representation and emotional themes in story design:

Characterization:

Characterization is the concept of creating characters for a narrative. It is a literary element and may be employed in dramatic works of art or everyday conversation. Characters may be presented by means of description, through their actions, speech, or thoughts.

Stereotypes can be positive or negative, but they rarely communicate accurate information about others. When people automatically apply gender assumptions to others regardless of evidence to the contrary, they are perpetuating gender stereotyping.

These images of a particular group are used to communicate underlying messages about status, society and cultural norms.
