Character Dynamics (part 3)


Another way to change character dynamics in a story is by the introduction of a new character. Group dynamics can be drastically altered by the presence of a new character, and this alone can sometimes produce interesting plot twists and story development. Like a musical composition that suddenly changes key, the arrival of a new character in a story can be refreshing and exciting. It can also cause an audience to long for a return to the original situation with the former group of characters. Through a new character, it is possible to create tension or provide release from tension, which will move the story forward and keep the audience engaged.
