Re: How to make a breakup in a work MEAN something

[(Anonymous)]

agreeing with others that if your audience is gonna feel the break up, they have to be invested first. I think the same theory works with regard to character deaths: if you make a character funny/entertaining to watch, their death becomes so much more depressing. I think laughing with or at a character triggers something in the brain that attaches you to them more firmly than other emotions. (see: comic sidekicks that die in Disney movies.) you can extend the theory to a couple by having them be the sort of couple that pokes fun, or seems to actually get along with each other. so many "epic romances" are just two lifeless, soulless people pushed together in what the narration calls "chemistry." it's gotta be "show, don't tell," lots of crappy romances tell the reader that there are sparks, that it was destiny, that the world explodes when they see them, and that's fine but if it's not backed up by showing, it's meaningless.
