Question

question 5 of 10
in a story, what would cause a character to be considered complex?
a. the character experiences many different emotions and has multiple motivations.
b. the character is in direct conflict with many other characters in the story.
c. he or she is the main character, and the bulk of the story focuses on his or her experiences.
d. the characters emotions are consistent, and he or she doesnt experience growth.

Explanation:

A complex character in a story has depth - they are not one - dimensional. Having many different emotions and multiple motivations shows that a character is not simple. For example, a character might be motivated by love for their family but also have a hidden ambition for power, and feel emotions like joy, guilt, and anger in different situations.

• Option B: Just being in conflict with many characters doesn't necessarily make a character complex. A character could be a simple antagonist in multiple conflicts.
• Option C: Being the main character doesn't equate to being complex. A main character could be a very straightforward, one - dimensional figure.
• Option D: Consistent emotions and no growth are characteristics of a flat, not complex, character.

Answer:

A. The character experiences many different emotions and has multiple motivations.
