Characters

Different characters will create different elements in the story and act as plot devices to push the story forward.



The protagonist can come in different shapes and forms. They are sometimes weak, with many weaknesses and we see how they develop and change in order to overcome the obstacles in their path. A weak antagonist creates empathy amongst the audience and also allows the audience to associate with the character being normal. A protagonist that has many strengths gives the audience less to fear if he easily overcomes his obstacles. This is why his power is often taken away in thrillers, leaving him exposed.
