Exploring the Connection Between Improv and Terry Pratchett's Writing

Improv is an authentic exploration of humanity for Terry Pratchett, who finds humans both funny and disappointing. His characters reflect his own personality: Rinswind represents bafflement, Sam Vimes embodies cynicism and anger, and Granny Weatherwax is a realist who understands human nature. Terry believed that humans are neither fundamentally good nor bad, but fundamentally people, with capacity for both awfulness and kindness. His books resonate because they capture the entirety of the human experience.
