Re: Are your favorite characters usually the characters you relate to most?

(Anonymous) 2014-03-22 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
It usually ends up that way. But they're not my favorites just because I can relate to them. Rather, I think when the more I identify with a character, the more strongly I feel about them - for good or for bad.

The reasons that I like or dislike a character don't really have anything to do with identifying with them. I like characters who are smart and wise. I like characters who are funny and vulgar. I like normal people who try hard. I love characters who are basically normal people placed in positions where they have to make extremely tough moral choices. There's all kinds of reasons why I like characters.

But out of those characters that I like, the ones that I really care the most about are the ones that I also strongly identify with. Similarly for characters I dislike - the characters I hate most are the ones I both dislike and identify with.
