Four-Dimensional Characters

[tzimize]

I guess a good example of a four-dimensional character would be Rorschach from Watchmen. I?d have to write an entire essay to explain why, though.

I need to watch Watchmen again. The end just breaks my heart.

Would a 4th dimensional character be one that grows significantly from one aspect we observe them at the first time we meet them to a completely different aspect over time? A shift in perspective and not a minor but major shift?
I'm not sure but maybe the 4th dimensional character is one we shape simply by observing it, our expectations and observations somehow change that character. Maybe its our perspective of said character rather than the actual character itself? I don't know how to put it right, but I think I'm hitting the topic in a blindfolded dart tossing manner...

Please, do write one. I don't think posts here have real character limits, so knock yourself out.

What I meant to say was, "I can't be arsed to write an entire essay to explain why", because I've already talked so much about Rorschach in the past and there are probably far better essays on the character on the internet. But, in a nutshell, I just find Rorschach to be a brilliantly complex character with interestingly contradictory ideals and convictions (you know, his whole thing with Truman, but then also being against Veidt's plan; and liking his father, despite knowing nothing about him).
