Sorry bro.

Google.

>>7752265
Not OP, but that doesn't go into the depth that he probably needs.

I'm holding my card because OP is a tool and I wanna see him struggle a little longer.

>>7752265
What did you search for? Seemed like a really specific thing for google. I was wondering if there was a more specific character title like "manic pixie dream girl" or something like that.

>>7752279
"types of characters in literature"

>>7752288
I appreciate the effort, but >>7752273 is right; I'm looking for a more exact type than symbolic, if there is one. Under that umbrella could be all sorts of characters, from Tyler Durden to Jiminy Cricket.

>>7752292
Was I also right that you need to struggle longer? Because I'm really insecure about my knowledge and sharing it with people I don't know.

>>7752292
Caricature?

>>7752296
I'll be struggling until I find an answer, so if that's what you're looking for, there ya go.

>>7752298
Aren't they usually parodies that exaggerate certain characteristics? Doesn't quite feel right.

>>7752308
Yeah that's probably not what you're looking for. So you're looking for a synonym for 'a character who symbolizes'?

>>7752312
More of an embodiment. They're often sage characters who dispense advice at crucial points in the plot when they do anything at all.

car·i·ca·ture

noun. a picture, description, or imitation of a person or thing in which certain striking characteristics are exaggerated in order to create a comic or grotesque effect.

synonyms: cartoon, parody, satire, lampoon, burlesque; informalsendup, takeoff

>>7752328
Nope, the fiddler wasn't a charicature. Not exaggerated, not a parody. More earnest in intent than to poke fun.

>>7752328
It's astonishing the amount of illiterates on /lit/.

A manifestation of? An avatar?

>>7752367
Avatar is closer, but these aren't deity figures.

I appreciate the help though, guys. This has bugged me for a while. How would you describe the fiddler?

>>7752357
/lit/ - Il/lit/erates Only

Personally I would not consider them illiterate, perhaps sophomoric and incompetent. That's why as a Wolfe fan, I keep complaining here about the weaknesses of other Wolfe fans. They make him look bad.

Anthropomorphic Personification

>>7752381
Hm. Not as elegant a title, but yeah, that's pretty much it. Is that how they're usually labelled?

The Doctor character who stands for ALL DOCTORS or the entire medical practice

>>7752381
Oi, is that a pillow under your robes, m8?

>>7752367
These were the first two things that came to my mind as well.

Thanks again for the help, guys.
