This is especially true for stock characters used regularly enough to become cliches. They often feel generic and flat since they lack any deeper characterization. These are character archetypes that have been moulded into a more specific character type already. However, when overused or used poorly they become stock characters. When these archetypes are used well, they result in characters and character arcs that feel instantly familiar but fresh. In short, they reflect universal human motifs and experiences.īecause of this, they are mouldable and can be used again and again as a character template.
