The Flawed Protagonist
Writers will often give their protagonist flaws. But why do they do this?
A flawed protagonist is someone we can relate to. We all have something we struggle with. It's interesting to see how a player compensates for their shortcomings.
Characters that have flaws help the author create suspense and drama. The writer will put the protagonist in situations where they have to act despite their weaknesses. Their actions will often be atypical because they have to compensate for their imperfections.
Flawed characters give us encouragement. When we see them triumph, we can be inspired to reach our own goals.
Memorable heroes are well rounded. When we see something in them that we can relate to, it endears us to them. When they succeed despite their flaws, their methods may be more gripping, and the outcome even more rewarding.
