What
is it about flawed characters?
Could
it be that they are easier to relate to?
Or
maybe, just maybe we enjoy rooting for the underdog...
Whether
reading or writing, I need my characters to have some type of flaw. I’m not
just talking about the minor things either. I love stubborn, bad @ss, rude, and
even dysfunctional personalities. I love nothing more than to have the darkest
parts exposed for all to see. TBH, I think perfection is overrated, and I’m not
afraid to admit that I’m the exact opposite of perfect. Therefore, I relate
more to similar characters.
You
see, here’s the thing: it’s about redemption. For me, at least.
I’ve
always believed that no matter what someone has done (well...within reason, of
course), they can always change. We’re all human, and the characters in books
are “human” too. So, in a perfect world, we might make the worst choices but
still manage to get an HEA. In reality, that’s not the case. So, why not allow
a fictional character to experience what a real person might never accomplish—flaws
and all!
