Yes. This is quite unfortunate. We tend to think that our favorite character be perfect, even though we know that even on real life it can't be possible.

I totally agree with you. Making a character likable is not wrong but sometimes creating characters that are simply themselves makes the entire plot a little more relatable. Even heroes can sometimes be characters that are not like by everybody or showcase some sort of flaws in their personality, this adds depth to the character and the plot.Anna Dougherty wrote: ↑01 Jul 2020, 12:25 I think that the protagonist of the story does not have to be an exceptionally good person to be the main character in a book. I believe that his character flaws are important to the plot.

This is the honest truth. We don't need to like the character of the protagonist for him to drive the story.diana lowery wrote: ↑01 Jul 2020, 13:48 He is a "good" protagonist in that he is what drives the story; however, he is a weak character who gets even weaker as the story progresses.

I totally agree with you, His character was truly very strong at the beginning but as the plot unfolded we see his flaws and him being the main character this flaws are hard to ignore. I think the authour allowedus to see the flaws of the protagonist so that we can totally identify with him. It is human to have flaws. It enables the author an opportunity to make the story as relatable as possible. Therefore i agree that the protagonist of the tory does not have to be exceptionally good so as to be a fit main characterAnna Dougherty wrote: ↑01 Jul 2020, 12:25 I think that the protagonist of the story does not have to be an exceptionally good person to be the main character in a book.

wooow, i really like this point. He plays his role as the protagonist to the fullest in that he drives the plot of the story to the very end. Isnt that what is important? As for his character, to err is to man so he is just being human.diana lowery wrote: ↑01 Jul 2020, 13:48 He is a "good" protagonist in that he is what drives the story; however, he is a weak character who gets even weaker as the story progresses.
