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.
