Answer:

A round character is the opposite of a flat character, which is not developed by the author. A round character can be static (remaining the same throughout the story) or dynamic (changes as a result of the story). Examples of Round Character: ... Scout in To Kill a Mockingbird is a round character.

A flat character is typically a minor character, or a character that is supposed to represent a stereotype or generalization. Flat characters also do not change during the course of the story. Examples of Flat Character: ... In the Harry Potter series, Crabbe and Goyle are flat characters.

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

Answer:

The two types are described by E.M. Forster in his book Aspects of the Novel (1927). The example he gives of a flat character is Mrs. Micawber in Charles Dickens's David Copperfield (1849–50), of a round character Becky Sharp in William Thackeray's Vanity Fair (1847–48).
