Detailed explanation-1: -Flat characters are two-dimensional in that they are relatively uncomplicated and do not change throughout the course of a work. By contrast, round characters are complex and undergo development, sometimes sufficiently to surprise the reader.
Detailed explanation-2: -For example, a supervillain may be a round character that doesn’t undergo personal changes by the end of the story, making them static. Similarly, a bully in a story about a high school may be a minor flat character who stops teasing others and befriends them instead, making them a dynamic character.
Detailed explanation-3: -Static characters do not change, while dynamic characters change throughout the piece of literature. Round characters are characters that we know a lot about, while flat characters we only know basic details about.
Detailed explanation-4: -The term “dynamic character” is often confused with “round character, ” and while they often overlap, they are not the same. A dynamic character is one who changes significantly throughout the story, whereas a round character is simply one who is interesting and layered.
Detailed explanation-5: -A round character refers to a character in a fictional work with depth or a complex personality. This character type seems lifelike to readers because they learn many details about them, such as their history, thoughts, emotions and personality traits.
