This week’s musing asks…What makes you love / hate a character in a book?
I like a character that is nice, has some common sense about them. I like a bit of comedy in my characters if it can be worked into the storyline. If you have ever read Jane Austen's Emma, I liked her, even if she was a bit spoiled, her intentions were always wanting to help, even though sometimes she made some serious mistakes mainly due to the fact that she thinks she is always right. She was never mean or vindictive in her quest to help, she just misunderstood all the signs of others intentions.
I hate a character that is dark and moody. An example would be Heathcliff in Bronte's Wuthering Heights. He was abusive scornful, and vengeful, a very angry and sometimes malicious individual. Those are the kind of characters I hate.
How about you what makes you love and hate a character in a book?
