Re: Have you ever loved a character and hate its real life counterparts?

For one, it's always different when you get to watch/read about a character versus interact personally with a real person like that character. It might be more your involvement in the situation rather than peering into the world from beyond the screen/page that does it.

For another, which is REALLY important, fictional characters have authors who can control their actions and edit their work after the fact. Something the character said is a bit too annoying? Cut it out and replace it with something more tasteful. Something the character said isn't as entertaining or meaningful as it needs to be to get a point across? Tweak it until it produces the right effect. Something the character does doesn't quite pack the right amount of pathos or humor or irony or situational appropriateness? Rearrange the entire fictional universe and the laws of space and time and probability to make sure the action and its context conveys the right message to the audience. Real life people don't have the option of warping reality around them for the exact right effect or taking back something they said or did.

Well, that's a perfectly logical explanation. I hadn't really thought of that, but I think you're right. And maybe it also has to do that I can swtich the screen/close the book whenever I wanted, whereas in real life I have to put up with them whether I like it or not.
