A stock character is a one that relies heavily on cultural types or
stereotypes for their personality, manner of speech, and other characteristics. In their most general form, stock characters are related to literary
archetypes, but they are often more narrowly defined. Stock characters are a key component of
genre fiction, providing relationships and interactions that people familiar with the genre will recognize immediately. Stock characters make easy targets for
parody, which will likely exaggerate any stereotypes associated with these characters.
