I think you could argue this both ways. A round character
is a character who is neither purely good nor purely evil, with both flaws and
virtues.
A flat character is purely good or purely evil.
Generally this type of character is a stock character like a hero or a villain, or an
extremely minor character in a story.
Does Baba have any
clearly defined flaws? This is the central question you must answer and defend in this
argument.
Baba's relationship with Amir is complex, he
clearly loves his son, but at the same time occasionally fails to show his love in ways
that Amir understands. Amir's jealousy of Baba's affection for Hassan makes their
relationship even more complex and helps to drive the plot. The key here is deciding
whether Baba's difficulty showing love to Amir is a flaw or not. Baba continually
forgives Amir's missteps and never does anything to intentionally harm his son or anyone
else in the story.
