Characters don’t have to change to grow; they can grow in their resolve.


Characters who change alter their outlook or moral view, such as with Scrooge in "A Christmas Carol."


Characters who remain steadfast hold on to their outlook or moral view, such as with Ray Kinsella in "Field of Dreams."


Each kind of character's beliefs are tested, both by obstacles and by other characters who offer alternative ways of responding or of looking at the world.


In your story, consider whether you want your main character to change or to remain steadfast, but keep in mind that either choice may end in either success or failure in the effort to achieve the logistic goal of the story.


Sometimes, change is required to succeed and other times it requires being resolute, just as in real life.
