A master novelist paints his story with dynamic
two-dimensional characters. The characters are woven into the story like puzzle
pieces. Each is important to the final picture, but standing alone they bring
no significant revelation to the final image.
Two-dimensional characters are flat. They lack depth, are
partially developed, and often are stereotypically inclined.
But stories need two-dimensional characters. They bring the
story to life, birthing a necessary reality for the main characters, and
layering a believable background.
