Our group (Reading Group 4) chose to make a memory (matching) game exploring flat and round characters in narrative — literature, TV and film. In most cases, the pairs were easy to tag, especially if there was a sidekick (Robin to Batman) or type (Mickey to Rocky). But interestingly enough, we hit a few snags. For example, Snoopy to Jennie and Lily is round and Charlie Brown is flat. In their culture, the cartoon is called "Snoopy" (not Peanuts). Another character that was hard to peg was Golum from Lord of the Rings. Some of us consider him flat since his overarching trait was obsessiveness (with getting the ring). Others see him as a more developed character with deeper motivations.
