4. Definitions • 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.
