What term is used to describe a story or character that goes through a transformation?

  1. Protagonist

  2. Antagonist

  3. Character arc

  4. Conflict

The correct answer is: Character arc

A protagonist refers to the central character in a story and their role as a main character, not necessarily their transformation. An antagonist is a character or force in opposition to the protagonist, not the one experiencing transformation. Conflict refers to the struggle or problem faced by the protagonist, but does not encompass the entire character's journey or growth. The term "character arc" is specifically used to describe the transformation or development that a character experiences throughout a story. It refers to the changes and growth in their personality, beliefs, or actions. Therefore, "character arc" is the most fitting term to describe a story or character that undergoes a transformation.
