Re: Fridging, and how not to do it

[a_potato]

The story's got a fair amount of female characters, and the Bechdel test is passed and then some. The only instance I can think of that involves two women talking about a man concerns what to do with him (at that point, my main protagonist has run off in his madness and the individuals in his group are trying to a) figure out what's going on with him and b) develop a plan for tracking him down/bringing him in).

What you've suggested has been my approach. I've thought of ways to flesh her out and to strengthen her ties to the community. But I can't help but worry that that won't be enough. I also have a part of me that now wants her to live, and wants to kill someone else who's close to him, instead. But the problem there is that he's...mostly close to women, and my sense of his character is such that it wouldn't feel right to genderswap any of them.

(I should add that, if anyone is killed, he absolutely is going to feel for them as them. Much of what he goes through after his descent revolves around him struggling to feel outside of himself. I've thought of the moments where he can conceptualize what has happened as not being about him as being the most poignant and the most revealing when it comes to his madness. Part of why he is crazy is because he has lost true empathy).

In any case, it really is less about him (apart from it driving him mad) and more about what it means for the world overall and for the characters who have to stop what's happening. That has the feel of just shifting things, however. I wonder if it might just be better for me to think of some other way for him to lose it.
