Verified answer

A flat char would be rather one dimentional, whereas a round character would be one who has many traits. Usually a novel might have a round character as its central protagonist, but other characters might be flat.

A static character would stay the same throughout the story, and a dynamic character would change. Coming of age books, such as To Kill a Mockingbird, typically have at least one character who develops and changes as the story unfolds.

Flat And Round Characters

In a book, a flat character is a character who is not really developed and does not change throughout the story, while a round character is a character who is developed and may change.

Flat characters have one personality round characters have many

A flat character reveals only one character, and a round character is a character you know more about

flat characters are ones with simple personalities while round characters have more personalities

Ok so this is how it goes, a flat character is pretty much a character who is not as important as the main character, and round characters are characters who are important and primary.
