In a work of literature, characters can be said to be either dynamic, or they can be static or flat. "Static" or "flat" characters tend to be one-sided, and they do not change during the novel.
"Dynamic" characters are more fleshed-out, and they usually grow or change in some way throughout the novel. Often, a main character is dynamic, while minor characters tend to be more static or flat.
1. Give 2 examples of dynamic characters from the book. For each, write a paragraph explaining how you know that this character is dynamic.
2. Who are some characters who are flat or static? For each one that you list, mention their primary defining characteristic.
