Characters in Thrillers

Since their creation, thrillers have all had very similar characters. For research into our thrillers, my group looked into all the different character types found in nearly all thrillers and i created a mind map on what i found.

I also composed a list of characters from known thrillers that fit under some of the different categories.

Antagonist

Mr Turner from Disturbia.

Victim

Harriet Vanger from Girl with the dragon tattoo.



 Protagonist (anti-hero in this case)

Creasy from Man on fire.

 Helper

Dr Watson from Sherlock Holmes.

Damsel in distress 

Fox from Wanted.
