The Importance of Character Development in Storytelling
Character development is crucial in storytelling as it is what keeps the audience engaged and coming back for more. While spectacle may attract initially, it is the characters that make the story memorable and enjoyable. Using the Dan Harmon circle, a storytelling technique, authors can create a character arc that involves the character starting in a familiar place, going through adventures, facing challenges, and returning home changed. This evolution of characters through experiences, interactions, and growth is what resonates with the audience, making the story impactful and relatable.
