Characters construction in writing


CHARACTER CONSTRUCTION IN WRITING


This does not mean that all the characters should be nice or very admirable, Don Corleone in "The Godfather" and Sidney Falco in "The Sweet Smell of Success" are neither admirable nor pleasant but antiheroes; however, you can tell an exciting story about them. A despicable character, but with a slight chance of salvation, can be as easily a protagonist as a fun and admirable character. In the same way, a sympathetic character must have its undesirable side if you want to create tension in the audience about whether he or she will be able to do what they have to do to reach their goal.






Multimedia Production Handbook



It should be noted that our interest in whether the protagonist reaches his goal is proportional to the interest of that character to reach his goal. The more intense is her or his desire, the greater our concern. We do not ask if what the protagonist seeks is moral or immoral, just or unjust, generous or selfish; we ask how strongly the protagonist wants that something and that determines our emotional attitude towards him. A protagonist who does not know what he wants, or knows but does not care much whether he gets it or not, represents a poor dramatic material.
