I'm easily satisfied with characters.
But most people are not. Browsing Amazon quickly reveals people moaning about no character depth etc.. in certain novels.
I'd like to ask: How would you distinguish between a 2 dimensional and a 3 dimensional character? What aspects make them more real? Why do you get attached to them?
Also, what makes characters seem flat?
This might be a really basic discussion, but I really need to grasp this. While I don't look for much in characters, potential readers will. I've paused writing till I get a clearer picture- this is clearly very important.
Thanks for answering.
