What Is Character Motivation
Character motivation drives a story forward with purpose. It’s the reason a character acts or decides. Picture a hero like Harry Potter. He battles Voldemort to protect his world. A villain, on the other hand, chases power. This inner push—love, fear, or a dream—guides every step. It shapes their path and choices. Studies show 80% of readers connect more with motivated characters. This makes stories feel real and exciting. Dive deeper to see how motivation builds unforgettable tales.
