Summary
Any author to have ever written, from poetry to prose to every other genre in-between has been confronted with one universal question: where do you get ideas for your characters? And really, the answer is just as universal. It is impossible to create a completely original character, for the way people characterize is through traits. So the entire concept of a character is an imaginary person built from the ground up with desired traits. And a trait is always predefined by its existence in others, and in the author himself. This is why, we as readers, can love or hate characters, because we see pieces of our friends, our families, ourselves in them, both the positive and the negative. Through exploring the traits and characteristics of these imaginary beings, we can better learn who we are and who we may become.
Table of Contents
- Perhaps the literary character that best exemplifies one of my worst traits is Beatrice from William Shakespeare's Much Ado about Nothing.
- For the most part, denial is not as dramatic as it is on Beatrice's part.
- Centuries after the end of Shakespeare and the Renaissance, the characters of the Romantic Age still lead us to examine ourselves in a different light.
- Whether it is the death of a human or animal, our bad decisions do not often result in such extremities.
- Writers write to communicate. Many literary works have political purposes, or strive for social forms.
