The document discusses different types of characters: - Flat characters have one or two traits that do not change, while round characters are more complex with varied traits that can contradict. - Static characters remain the same throughout a story, while dynamic characters change permanently over the course of a story. It then provides examples of characters from movies and books that are either flat or round, and static or dynamic, having the reader indicate which is which through physical poses. Finally, it assigns reading from Les Miserables and creating a character type diagram as homework.
