In my opinion, Professor Shlemiel from "The Day I Got Lost" is a COMPLEX character.
The reasoning is as follows:
A flat character is generally straightforward and remains the same throughout the narrative. In contrast, Professor Schlemiel is complex because he evolves as the narrative unfolds. Despite his constant forgetfulness, his memory surprisingly improves, allowing him to narrate his experiences in a remarkably detailed manner.
In my final year of secondary school, I was chosen as the top student and made the head boy. Being the head boy made me feel invincible in school; or so I believed, until this fateful day. The responsibilities of being head boy included leading various academic extracurricular activities such as debates and quiz competitions. Typically, this wouldn't have been an issue, except I was incredibly shy and timid. I constantly told myself that failure was not an option and generally managed well by passing debate responsibilities to lower-class students under the guise of 'training them.' When a significant debate was scheduled, it felt crucial for me to participate, and the entire school would gather for the event. I practiced for two days solidly in anticipation; memorizing my material extensively. Hours before the event, I secluded myself in a classroom for further practice. I was convinced I would excel. But I was mistaken. When the day finally arrived, my turn was saved for last, to be the highlight. I was already sweating profusely. There was no backing down now. I took a deep breath and steeled myself to step onto the stage, as silence enveloped the hall. Everyone’s eyes were on me, and I felt their stares pierce through me like lasers. As I started to speak, I stumbled through my greetings and realized I had forgotten the topic entirely. Glancing at the banner behind me for a clue, I turned back to be met by the principal's serious expression; her gaze made my heart sink. I had no idea she was seated in the front row all along. Taking a deep breath, I attempted to speak, but everything I had rehearsed slipped my mind. Suddenly, the room erupted in laughter. I was the punchline. I glanced at the principal, who was laughing the hardest. Trembling, I struggled to remain standing. The exit suddenly felt impossibly distant, and I couldn't endure it anymore, attempting to leave through the hall’s center while the laughter roared. Finally reaching the door, I realized I was pulling instead of pushing. After what felt like an eternity, I managed to push the door open and escaped outside. I could hear the principal trying to calm the laughter through the public address system while chuckling. I had never felt so embarrassed in my life.
The setting is post-Arthurian civilization.
Explanation:
The Buried Giant is a fantasy work written by the acclaimed author Kazuo Ishiguro. This novel depicts the life of an elderly British couple during post-Arthurian times, where the populace suffers from short-term memory loss. The couple, Axl and Beatrice, are uncertain about the whereabouts of their presumed son and embark on a quest to find him. In this narrative, Saxons and Britons coexist peacefully. Throughout their journey, they meet Sir Gawain, who once had a mission from King Arthur to slay the dragon Querig but failed. A Saxon knight, Wistan, saves a boy named Edwin from ogres and joins Axl and Beatrice in their quest, intending to locate Querig and kill it. Eventually, Axl, Beatrice, Wistan, and Sir Gawain reach the dragon's lair, where it's revealed that Sir Gawain was meant to safeguard the dragon, leading to a duel in which Wistan kills him and slays the dragon, which restores the peoples' memories and rekindles old hostilities between Saxons and Britons.
