Topic	is "the characters are unlikable" a valid criticism
ChocoboMog123 08/12/21 2:32:45 AM #10:	Holden Caulfield is unlikable (and if you like him, seek help), but still a good story. The narrator in The Great Gatsby is unlikable, ~~Gatsby kinda is too,~~ but it's still a good story. If a character's motivations and goals are interesting, you can still craft a good story with unlikable characters. I dislike Wuthering Heights because I don't care about any of the characters' goals or motivations - and the characters are unlikable. I would read a whole book about Severus Snape just to get his perspective. Not everyone has to be 20 Charisma Joe the Bard. --- "You're sorely underestimating the power of nostalgia goggles." - adjl http://www.smbc-comics.com/comics/20110218.gif <cite>ChocoboMog123 posted [p:957007816] in is "t...
