Flat character

-has only one or twso personality traits. They are one dimensional like a piece of cardboard. they can be summed up in one phrase- There are a plethora of characters in this strory. many of these characters were background characters tht we only hear of once and were never brought up again. However, the man in spain who likes bull fighting seems to come up again and again. he only has one personality trait and that is that he is obsessed with bull fighting. on the other hand i think he symbolizes something. he feels that jake is a true bull fighter spirtit and he is disapointed of jakes friend choice even though he never says it. i think he represents jake's subconscience that tells him he is better than this and can do better.

  1. the man in spain who likes bull-fighting? I'm not sure who you're referencing. Did the character not have a name?
