Category:Stock characters
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This category collects stock characters and similar stereotypes.
Definition: A stock character is a fictional character that relies heavily on cultural types or stereotypes for its personality, manner of speech, and other characteristics. Stock characters are instantly recognizable to members of a given culture. Because of this, a frequent device of both comedy and parody is to wildly exaggerate the expected mannerisms of stock characters.
