∙ 9y agoA character's motivation is something that propels inside of them, their personality.
Another definition is to wonder what makes people behave the way they do.
In a novel or play character motivation is concerned with explaining (in the work of literature itself) why the character act in the way they do: for example, Jim Doe hates Jane Doe in a novel, and the motivation (reason - as presented in the novel) is that at some time in the past he did her an injustice which she has not forgiven. Something that keeps them going.
