Understanding Character Arcs

A character arc is the status of the character as it unfolds throughout the story, the storyline, or series of episodes. Since the definition of character arc centers on the character, it is generally equated as the emotional change of the character within the narrative.

Characters begin the story with a certain viewpoint and, through events in the story, that viewpoint changes. Often this change is for the better, but it can also be for the worse or simply different.
