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.

Beneath the epidermal layer lies the dermis, the true powerhouse of the skin. It's a dense, connective tissue layer that provides structure and support to the skin. The dermis is composed of a network of collagen and elastin fibers, which give skin its elasticity and prevent sagging. It also houses essential structures like blood vessels, sweat glands, sebaceous glands, and hair follicles. - The cellular makeup of the dermis is just as diverse: - Fibroblasts: These workhorse cells are responsible for synthesizing collagen and elastin, the scaffolding that keeps skin firm and youthful. - Adipocytes: Also known as fat cells, adipocytes provide insulation and cushioning, contributing to the fullness and contour of the face. - Mast cells: These immune system cells play a role in wound healing and allergic reactions. - Immune cells: Various immune cells reside in the dermis, constantly patrolling and protecting the body from invading p...
