According
to the opinion
ofHoftman and
Murphy (1988):
"A
Flat
Character
is
constructed
round
a
single
idea
or
quality
in
addition,
the
undergo
no
change
or
dcvelopncnt. A
flat
character
has
only
one
outstanding
trait
or feature,
or at most
a
few distinguishing
marks."(p
40-41)
Round
character can
change
or
grow.
On
the
other
hand,
Forster
(!927)
says,
character
is where
the
nature of the actor
or the actress
develops
and can
more
develop
t:ntii the end
of the story.
I
"A Round
character, however,
present
us with
more facets
-
that
is, their
authors
portray
them
in
greater
depth
and
in
more
generous
detaiL
Such
a
rocnd character
may
appear
to
us
only
as
he
appears
to
the
other
character
i:1 the story.
If their
views of him
differ, we will see
him from
more
than
one
side'' ( Kennedy,
1991. p. 48 )
tn 1Jncl ]omCabin, Tom's character
in
this story
doesn't develop
or
change.
From
the
begirming
he
is
a
generous
person,
and
until
the
end
of
the
story
he
is
siill
a
generous
person. So,
We can conclude that Tom
is a flat character.
In
a
story
the
author
always
separates
the
actor
or
the
actress
into
flat
or
round
character.
It
is
the
way
to make
the
story
not boring,
Perhaps
the
author
makes
one
character
into
flat
because
if
his/her
natLire
changes,
a
story
is
not
interesting
anymore,
Round
character
-this
certain
ch2racter-
can
change,
perhaps
it
changes
because
of
the
enviror:ment
or
some
behavior
that
influence
him
or
her.
He
or
she
can
change
into
bad
person
or
good
person.
But
it
seems
that
round
character
is
more
interesting
than
flat
character.
