Why are characters vital to a literary work?
The more a writer knows about a character, the more real or true a character will seem to the reader. It's important not to reveal too much to the reader, and also not to reveal too little, but equally important is simply knowing much more about a character than the reader does when the reader first encounters that character. You might say that a character that has not been developed before it meets the printed page will seem as thin as the paper itself, whereas a character with a deep backstory, personality, ambitions, and fears will appear three-dimensional.
If an author makes a character very real the reader gets a sense of personality about that character. This is called the character and rsquos?
