Character: person in a story, poem or play. Most often a character is an ordinary human being.

The process of revealing the personality of a character in a story is called characterization. A writer can reveal a character by:

1. Letting (dejando) us hear the character speak.

2. Describing how the character looks and dresses.

3. Letting us listen to the character´s inner thoughts and feelings.

4. Revealing what other character´s in the story think or say about th character 

5. Showing us what th character does-how he or she acts. 

6.Telling us directly what the character´s personality is like: cruel, kind, sneaky, breave and so on.

The first five ways of revealing  a character are know as indirect characterization. When a writer use indirect characterization, we have to use our own judgement to decide what a character is like, based on the evidence the writter give us but in direct characterization, we dont have to decide for ourselves, we are told directly what the character is like.

A Static character is one who does not change much in the course of a story by a contrast a dinamyc character changes as a result of the story´s events. 

A flat character has only one or two traits (rasgos), and these can be described in a few words. Such a character has no depth (profundidad) , like a piece of cardboard. A round charachter, like a real person, has many  different character traits, which sometimes contradict one another.

Static and flat characters often function as subordinate  characters in a story. This means that they may play important roles in a story, but theye are not main characters.
