What makes a character in fiction, be it a book or movie, or even a real person whom you dislike softens your heart over time as the person’s internal struggles are revealed to the point of bringing you to tears, as their own heart, compassion and need for affection is finally expressed behind a wall of pain inflicted by a human experience that left them hardened and wounded?
Witnessing such character development is mutually transformative, as it
produces a positive change in the wounded; and an understanding to the observer,
leading to being less judgmental of others.
