Books educate, inform, entertain, and enthrall. The reason why an individual picks up a book to read varies, and also depends on the genre they prefer to read. Also depending on what genre the author is writing for, the aspects that they need to focus on to hold their readers’ interest also varies.
For writers of fictional books, how they build and position their characters plays an integral part in how the book is perceived by the readers. Building a character that is strong and memorable calls for certain characteristics. Given below are some of those traits that your characters should imbibe.
Burning ambition or goal
Characters with a strong desire or want help thicken the plot, as human desires have an intrinsic way of creating conflict. Hence giving your characters a deep want will enable you to dramatize your plot, as desires not are easily achievable.
Contradiction creating complexities
Even in real life you meet people who are reticent and rude or shy and bold, or any other characteristics that add complexity to their personality. Using the same premise to build your characters’ personality will enthrall the audience as human senses are trained to focus on unpredictability.
Shades of vulnerability
Awakening sympathy toward the characters in your readers is a good way to get them attached to the story. Being drawn to someone who is in need of help is a basic human trait. And vulnerability in the characters awakens that side in the readers.
