American Literature / Unit 2 AML 0107 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Character: Flat, Round, Static, Dynamic
Captions available
The idea
A flat character is built from one or two traits; a round character has the contradictions of a person. A static character ends as they began; a dynamic character changes. The two pairs are independent, so a round character can be static and a flat one can change.
In practice
Depth is one axis, change another.
Where people slip
The pairs are independent; the exam tests that.
