Round character: A round character is a fully-developed, three-dimensional character who has been given multiple and
sometimes contradictory traits. The reader is often privy to such a character's thoughts and motivations as well as to
descriptions of her/his physical description, actions, and dialogue. The complexity of a round character approximates that
of a "real" human being.
Flat character: A flat character is characterized by a single dominant trait; all other aspects of personality are
excluded. Flat characters are often stock characters, easily identified types such as "the jealous lover" or "the tricky servant."
Dynamic character: A dynamic character undergoes change or development over the course of the story; a dynamic
character is changed by actions and experiences that occur in the story.
Static character: A static character is one who remains the same throughout the course of the story; things may happen to a
static character, but nothing happens within the character her/himself.
