All the great writers root their characters in true human behaviour.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
To me, characters are at the heart of great literature.
Every character a writer creates has some of themselves in it somewhere.
Readers embrace all kinds of characters as long as they are written with emotional truth.
But at the same time, the commonplace statement about them is true: every character is the hero of his own story. Each has a justification for his actions that is convincing to him. It's fun to give these people voices.
The great man who gives a true transcript of his mind fascinates and instructs. Most writers suppress individuality. They wish to please the public.
An author's characters do what he wants them to do.
My favorite writers have been those who've said things well.
There are so many stories to be told, by so many good writers.
I think, above all, the characters in my novels feel universal to the readers.
All writers behave badly. All people behave badly.
