Protagonist Quotes

First person allows deeper insight into the protagonist’s character. It allows the reader to identify more fully with the protagonist and to share her world quite intimately. So it suits a story focused on one character’s personal journey. However, first person shuts out insights into other characters Picture Quote #1

What was the point of having a situation worthy of fiction if the protagonist didn't behave as he would have done in a book? Picture Quote #1

There has to be a protagonist who has to overcome challenges, and there will be a race to finish Picture Quote #1

Eva is a story of repetition. It is a story where our protagonist faces the same situation many times over and determinedly picks himself back up again. It is a story of the will to move forward, even if only a little. It is a story of the resolve to want to be together, even though it is frightening to have contact with others and endure ambiguous loneliness. I would be most gratified if you found enjoyment in these four parts as it takes the same story and metamorphoses it into something different Picture Quote #1

The protagonist of folktale is always, and intensely, a young person moving through ordeals into adult life... and this is why there are no wicked stepchildren in the tales Picture Quote #1

I always find something in common with my protagonist, particularly when I write in the first person Picture Quote #1

The nature of the universe probably depends heavily on who is the actual protagonist. Lately I’ve been suspecting it’s one of my cats Picture Quote #1

Crime is a very hard genre to feminise. If you have a female protagonist she is going to be looking after her mum when she gets older; she is going to be worried about her brother and sister; she will be making a living while bringing up kids Picture Quote #1

In prose, leaps of logic can be made while the protagonist thinks about things and arrives at conclusions. Even with voiceover, there’s no real way of having an inner voice without it taking over the entire story Picture Quote #1

When one hears the argument that marriage should be indissoluble for the sake of children, one cannot help wondering whether the protagonist is really such a firm friend of childhood Picture Quote #1

When the machine of a human being is turned on, it seems to produce a protagonist, just as a television produces an image Picture Quote #1

I’d love to write something for a male protagonist. That’s sort of the next frontier for me. I think it’d be really amazing to write the kind of parts that I love for women but for a guy Picture Quote #1

The great movie can be as free of being a record of the progress of the protagonist as is a dream Picture Quote #1

Make the audience wonder what’s going on by putting them in the same position as the protagonist Picture Quote #1

Better to be the architect of something you can endorse than the placard waving protagonist standing in the rain Picture Quote #1

Any claim to actual identification as a drama must rest upon the construction of a plot independent of the assignment of affliction to the protagonist Picture Quote #1
