DWP Episode 15: Morally Dubious Characters

Dauntless Writing Podcast Episode 15: Morally Dubious Characters

 

Why I like George RR Martin and Lannisters

In this Podcast:

  • Morally dubious and lovably gray characters;
  • Why Superman is dull;
  • How Batman walks the line and is thus popular as heck, but in the end you know he’ll do the right thing;
  • Why Jamie Lannester is a compelling douchebag;
  • Why Tywin Lannester is a monster you can relate to;
  • The fact is, people are not black and white, and neither should your characters be;
  • People might not like what they do, but they will understand, and sympathise if you provide enough reason for them to act the way they do;
  • How to get your morally dubious characters believable and what to avoid in pursuit of that goal.
