✰ A Round character is complex, multidimensional, and usually
the protagonist. He develops and changes as the plot unfolds. He
struggles with a conflict that he must
resolve.
✰ A Flat Character is simple. He has
one personality trait that doesn’t
change as the plot unfolds.
Food for thought: Must characters be people? Can they be
animals, mountains, or a family home? Think about it?
