Characters come from the hearts and souls of the writers who, for whatever reason, express their own life experiences.
English novelist E.M. Forster had other character labels such as Flat: with only one outstanding trait or feature a mannerism, physical feature or even an obsessive fondness with something...and Round: lots of facets and deeper personalities.
Depending on the story and plot, my tastes tends to go with whatever the portrayal of the character him/herself. In "Silence of the Lambs", I love ALL the characters! Clarice's hunger for solving the mystery by using a criminally insane patient was brilliant. Dr. Lechter playing head games and his british mannered, morbidly desire to dominate makes him insanely attractive (forgive the pun) . These unforgettable characters will live forever in our own human existence and will set standards for future characters. What's your shape???
