Stock characters, for example, are characters that represent generic types of people. Stock characters are not complex or unique but display stereotypical characteristics. One example of a stock character is the sly villain’s assistant, like the Joker’s assistant Harley Quinn in the animated series of Batman. Another example is the demanding but fair teacher, like Minerva McGonagall in J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series.
As you read the short story “The Lottery,” try to identify stock characters by asking yourself the following questions: Is this character complex or stereotypical? What type of person does he or she represent?
