A Point of View: Why do people relate to fictional characters?

People are always looking for thêm than what the world has to offer. People tình yêu the idea of fantasies and different worlds, where far thêm interesting stuff can happen and the possibilities are limitless. Because of this, it is quite easy to relate to characters bạn share similarities with, think are cool, hoặc think are cute etc.

I guess it's fun to see yourself in people, as a writer.. Sort of, I put pieces of me in most of my characters..

Fiction hoặc not, being able to relate is easy when one has a good understanding of others and mostly themselves. Of course the frequency varies depending on the person. It's not any different than being able to understand and empathize with someone tiếp theo to bạn in real life. Just that in most cases we are được trao thêm if not the whole picture of đã đưa ý kiến Character in Fiction hence they are easier for us to get behind. Not to mention personal feelings won't be getting in the way for certain cases since there is no direct involvement. We might already be sharing traits of them, behaving similarly hoặc finding ourselves under circumstances that are much alike to theirs. We might even get inspired and want to / end up becoming much thêm like them in the process. Taking after the hình ảnh of our admiration. It's one of Fiction's most defining characteristics. There are the doses of truth that might also get exaggerated được trao the bigger freedom existing in comparison to our reality. Something people in general yearn for. Less restrictions in order for them to be truly (or thêm like fully to be thêm accurate) themselves. Hence why Relatabilities also possess an Inward and Outward side. Again, they vary depending on the person. In the end, each Relatable is a piece of the puzzle to form yourself (some being larger than others and vice versa) and it can be pretty fun to explore. There are all sorts of ways this Subject can be applied. That would be my basic gist of it, I suppose !!!!

Idk I think that it makes people feel less alone hoặc perhaps understand themselves a little more. I think that it can also be nice to see a fictional character in your same situation get some healing because it's either motivating hoặc makes it seem possible for the real person.
