Round character is a major character in a work of fiction who
encounters conflict and is changed by it. Round characters tend to be more fully developed and described than flat, or static, characters. If you think of the
characters you most love in fiction, they probably seem as real to you as people you know in real life. This is a good sign that they are round characters. A writer
employs a number of tools or elements to develop a character, making him or her round, including description and dialogue.
Flat character is a minor character in a work of fiction who does not
undergo substantial change or growth in the course of a story. Also referred to as two-dimensional characters or static characters, flat characters play a
supporting role to the main character, which as a rule should be round. Though we dont generally strive to write flat characters, they are often necessary in a story,
