How Fiction Works Writing Meme - Exercise Five : character writing

[meridian_rose]

End of Section Exercise 2: Choose a pre-existing character that you do not like. Write a paragraph or two from their point of view. Is your writing shaded by your dislike of the character? Has writing from their point of view changed the way you view them? Write your thoughts at the end of the exercise.

I'm not doing this exercise directly but I will say I've written characters more sympathetically when writing from their POV or from the POV of someone inclined to be sympathetic to them; Arthur in 'A Glimpse of Avalon' and Cersei in 'Brothers, Betrothals, and Broken Things' for example.
