ROUND CHARACTER: A round character is depicted with such psychological depth and detail that he or she seems like a real person. The round character contrasts with the flat character, a character who serves a specific or minor literary function in a text, and who may be a stock character or simplified stereotype.
Mini Bio (2). Acclaimed writer Dr. Seuss was born Theodor Geisel in Springfield, Massachusetts on March 2, 1904. After attending Dartmouth College and Oxford University, he began a career in advertising. His advertising cartoons, featuring Quick, Henry, the Flit!, appeared in several leading American magazines.
Seuss is a Bavarian name, and was his motherâs maiden name: Henrietta Seussâs parents emigrated from Bavaria (part of modern-day Germany) in the nineteenth century. Seuss was also his middle name. Theodor Seuss Geisel â known as âTedâ to family and friends â liked to say that he adopted the name âDr. Seussâ because he was saving his real name for the Great American Novel he would one day write. But thatâs probably not true.
