Introduction: What is Character Development?
Character development is an important aspect of any story and it is the part that makes it memorable.
The protagonist is the most important character in any story. It is the character that drives the plot and moves the story forward. The protagonist should be interesting enough to make readers want to keep on reading. But, they do not have to be perfect, they just need to be relatable and believable enough for readers to connect with them.
What Makes a Good Protagonist?
The protagonist is the central character in the story. They are the one who is driving the plot and making things happen. The protagonist is often seen as a hero, but this does not have to be the case. They are often a flawed or imperfect person, but they are someone that you can relate to and want to see succeed.
A good protagonist should have traits that make them relatable and interesting, like being brave or smart or loyal. They should also have skillsets that will help them overcome any challenges they face in their journey towards their goal. Finally, they should be a person with strong personality traits like being kind or compassionate.
How to Develop an Interesting Antagonist?
An antagonist is a character who opposes the protagonist. They can be a person, animal, or supernatural being. They can also be an idea or event. A good antagonist is one that has clear motives and skillsets that are different from the protagonist’s.
The following are some of the traits and skillsets you should consider when developing your antagonist:
- The antagonist's personality should be different from the protagonist's
- The antagonist should have skills that are different from those of the protagonist
- The antagonist should have a motive for opposing the protagonist - This motive should not be something like revenge for an old rivalry
