“flat and round characters”的意思、由来-百科全书

flat and round characters

literature

characters as described by the course of their development in a work of literature. 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.

The two types are described by E.M. Forster (Forster, E M) in his book Aspects of the Novel (1927). The example he gives of a flat character is Charles Dickens's Mrs. Micawber, of a round character William Thackeray's Becky Sharp.
