Which type of characters do not change over time, maintaining consistent actions and personalities?

Dynamic characters
Round characters
Flat characters
Antagonists

The correct answer is: Flat characters

Flat characters are those that do not experience significant growth or change throughout a story. They often represent a single trait or characteristic and maintain a consistent personality and set of actions from the beginning to the end of the narrative. This static nature allows them to fulfill specific roles in the plot without evolving, making them easier to identify and understand for the reader. Flat characters are typically used to support the development of dynamic characters, who undergo transformations in their beliefs, behaviors, or insights. In contrast, dynamic characters develop over time, round characters possess complexity with varying traits and emotions, and antagonists can be either flat or dynamic depending on their role in the story.
