It helps when the people are real people and not fictional characters designed for a sitcom about nothing, wouldn't you say?
Come to think of it, Seinfeld is particularly tough because the characters are all just SO absurd.
There's no consensus on this at all, apparently.
Fictional characters are the easier to type.
the better the story the better the character.
better the character the more defined he/she becomes.
take any good film or drama, the characters decisions are based on the
character's personality.
and in fiction Personality never changer.
it rarely does.
except in Heathcliff. (note that i have never read Wuthering Heights but have heard about the character)
isn't it obvious, when we watch any drama or film we pretty much fall in love with the character.
this is the reason why spider man is so loved(lovable)
he has the coolest powers, but has the
worst life a guy with power like that could ever have + he refuses to use them to kick ass because of idealistic reasons.
this happens again and again and again.
and the viewer is left to imagine why why why why why?:steam:
why does he not kick some ass and use his powers to get his Personal life on top.:steam:
so why does he refuse to use his powers?
his personality.
and it never changes, thus he never uses his powers.
(it should be noted that i did notice that in the 3rd film he did change for about 10 minutes. but he also came bak to being peter packer/the good guy after realizing what he did was wrong. again due to his personality)
But in real life we all know we change like hell.
one minute i am a this the next i am that.
fictional type - easy to type
real life - hard to type.
