If a character has the same perspective and personality at the beginning as it does at the end of a story, then the character is antagonistic dynamic static protagonistic

The correct answer is: a static character.

In literature or in a story, a static character is one whose personality, behavior, and perspectives remain the same throughout the story. These characters do not evolve, change or alter their perspectives in a story. Static characters are also referred to as "flat" characters. An example of a static character would be Garfield, the cat, or Scar, from the Lion King.

there are two central themes in  the miracle worker: that the human spirit can triumph over even the most daunting of disabilities and that a dedicated teacher can transform the lives of those with whom he or she comes into contact. these inspirational themes have long been personified in the widely known true-life relationship between helen keller and annie sullivan, but  the miracle worker  also dramatizes collateral issues that extend beyond the particular case. underlying helen’s process of learning basic principles of what annie terms “obedience” (decorum, etiquette, and hygiene), there are more universal lessons of self-governance—the inculcation of self-restraint instead of willfulness, the development of self-discipline instead of self-indulgence. only when these lessons have been mastered can helen begin to acquire language—which, annie says, “is to the mind more than light is to the eye.”
