Captions available
The idea
A round static character is complex and unaltered, which describes a great many narrators and most minor figures in a long novel. A flat dynamic character is simple and changed, which describes many characters in fable and allegory. Collapsing the axes makes both unnameable.
In practice
Round and static; flat and dynamic.
Where people slip
Both combinations are common.
