Who is a "flat character"?
A flat character is a character in a story who is one-dimensional and lacks significant depth or complexity. These characters are typically defined by a single trait or characteristic and do not undergo significant development or change throughout the narrative. They often serve a specific function in the plot or to highlight contrasts with more complex characters but do not have a substantial impact on the story’s emotional or overall meaning.
