What was the concept of a flat and round character?

The Xiangzi of the Xiangzi Camel was a round figure. In the novel, Xiangzi was a young and promising entrepreneur who struggled endlessly. Through his own efforts and diligence, he gradually made a career, but at the same time, he also experienced many setbacks and tribulations. Xiangzi's round figure and determined eyes showed his indomitable spirit and perseverance.

It varies a lot. Some comics might present it as a fantastical setting, while others could use it for satire or social commentary.

The shape of Tang Sanzang in Journey to the West was not clearly described. It was impossible to determine whether he was a round or flat figure. In Journey to the West, Tang Sanzang was a great Buddhist monk. He was usually depicted as tall, dignified, with a round head, long fluffy hair, and a kind smile on his face. However, the shape of Tang Sanzang's body was not limited to this. His body may be slightly thin, but it was not specifically described as a round or flat figure.

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms did not have a clear definition of what was a flat or round character. Different people and different readers might have different views and understandings. However, many of the characters in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms were generally regarded as flat characters because their story plots and character settings were relatively simple. They did not have distinct personality characteristics and emotional conflicts, leaving people with a relatively simple and dull impression. In contrast, the characters with protruding circles were usually described as characters with complex inner worlds, strong emotional conflicts, and distinct personality characteristics. For example, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang and other characters were considered to be rounded characters because their story plots and character settings were very complicated, and their emotions and motives were also very impressive. Of course, there are also many flat characters in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, such as Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, etc. Their story plots and character settings are more complicated, but compared to the round characters, their personality characteristics and emotional conflicts are relatively simple, so they leave a relatively flat impression.

One common misunderstanding is that a cartoon flat earth is scientifically accurate, but it's not. It's just a fictional or imaginative representation.

In some cases, the 'the world is flat' concept can be well-represented in comics through vivid illustrations and engaging storylines. However, it can also be challenging to convey such a complex idea fully within the comic format.

It depends. Some comics might present it accurately, while others could take creative liberties and deviate from the original idea.

A flat character is one that is relatively simple and doesn't have much depth or complexity. They usually have only one or a few traits and don't change much throughout the story.

Well, a flat character is sort of like a one-dimensional figure. They don't have a lot of inner conflicts or development. You know them mainly by a single characteristic or a straightforward role they play in the story.
