- Course Description.
- Designing a character’s flaws is an integral part of the character development process because flaws are intimately connected to the plot. They create conflict and generate problems the character must overcome..
- But you need to construct them the right way..
- You do not want to just choose flaws that seem interesting. You want to choose the right flaws for this character in this story. Otherwise, her flaws don’t drive the plot and, therefore, lack relevance..
- When crafted properly, the flaws drive the character arc, create plot events, contribute to backstory, and much more..
