I think the first aim of the hero, in readers' eyes, is to be liked and loved, as in, the female reader should fall in love with him, and the male reader needs to like and identify with the hero.<BR/><BR/>What this means? Again, what you said already. He needs to be real. Women don't want a cardboard cutout or a paragon of virtue to love. They want a real man. Even if he doesn't literally exist in flesh and blood in real life, he exists in his context, and it this context that will make people 'recognise' him. Men want a 'real' hero too, because then he's a man who can be a buddy were he to exist in real life. <BR/><BR/>Very good post, Angela.<BR/><BR/>Hugs<BR/><BR/>Z(Aasiyah/Nolwynn)Z(Aasiyah/Nolwynn)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07199708922659903349noreply@blogger.com
