Character depth should be proportional to the character's importance to the story. It might be simpler to just have a look at Characters As Device, to cut through all the fog of lit-crit jargon around characterization.īeing flat is not automatically bad. The scene with the pawnbroker consists of characters that are all so flat - other thieves selling things, the maid, the pawnbroker himself - that some productions of the book have dropped the entire scene, with little loss in the telling of the story. One example of a flat character is the pawnbroker in A Christmas Carol, who buys Ebineezer Scrooge's bed curtains from the maid who stole them while he was lying on his bed, freshly dead.
Flat characters with just one defining trait are known as one-dimensional characters, while flat characters with a few more traits are two-dimensional characters. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.Ī flat character is one that only has the bare minimum number of characteristics necessary to make them interesting enough to carry off their purpose.
DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples.Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted.Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed.
