Identifying the different types of characters in a novel can help you know which characters will provide important clues about the story’s meaning. If you can tell that a character is meant to be flat instead of round, you won’t expect to see the story’s themes reflected in his or her experiences. Characters that seem round, though, are likely to be transformed by the story’s events. You should be prepared to look for evidence of the novel’s themes in how and why these dynamic characters change.
