Flat Character• Readers see one side
of a flat character.
• Flat characters are usually minor characters and reveal one or two traits.
• Flat characters may be used as a contrast to a major character.

Dynamic CharacterCharacters who develop and change are not only round characters, but often dynamic.
Scrooge changes from a tight-fisted, greedy unhappy man to one who was generous and loved life.
Gru changes from a villain set on destroying the world to a loving father.

Static Character• Static characters are one
dimensional—readers see only one side.

Stereotypes • Sometimes characters with
common, generalized traits are repeatedly found in unrelated stories.
• These characters are known by what they do and how they act.
• The author doesn’t need to tell us much about the character because we’ve encountered the stereotype before and can make some inferences.
