Depth

[DwayneA]

What does it mean when a story has depth? What about it's characters? For heroes and villains?

[citymouse]

To me depth means the subject and how it's treated. For example you could write a story about modern day slavery and still put your emphasis on the characters and how they relate or deal with the act rather than the criminal realities for the victims.
