I love your typography stuff. Soooo much jealousy....

I just realized you can't spell "jealousy" without "lousy." Hmmm...interesting...

And on your topic, I think a truly great character has a piece of the creator's soul in it. It's a projection of the artist his/herself so the creation is just as alive as the creator. I often find when I write that the characters that I put a lot into have a tendency to do what they want as opposed to what I want them to do. It's almost as though they have their own consciousness, so when I put them in a scenario, they react in the way that's most natural to them as opposed to how it will advance the plot further.

Also fictional character grow and adapt according to how the world changes. Look at characters that have been around since the 30s like Superman or the Loony Toons.

I know I have more to say, but I'm really tired so I'm just gonna shut up, but I would like to read your essay if you feel like posting it in your journal or something.
