I have chosen the Pardoner to expand on. In the prologue this character is described as having shoulder length‚ thin‚ yellow hair. He had bulging eyes and no facial hair. This might have been part of the reason that Chaucer judged him to be effeminate‚ describing him as “a gelding or a mare.” The pardoner is a member of the church‚ with the job of selling absolutions to the members of the church. This character could be a representation of one of the great controversies of the time regarding the

Lennie Although Lennie is among the principal characters in Of Mice and Men‚ he is perhaps the least dynamic. He undergoes no significant changes‚ development‚ or growth throughout the novel and remains exactly as the reader encounters him in the opening pages. Simply put‚ he loves to pet soft things‚ is blindly devoted to George and their vision of the farm‚ and possesses incredible physical strength. Nearly every scene in which Lennie appears confirms these and only these characteristics.

John Proctor was a main character in trying to stop the hangings‚ and bring sense to people. He changed immensely in the play

Readers will note that Scout at the end of the novel is very different from Scout at the beginning and this is because she has developed so much as a character.
