“An artist is someone who can hold two opposing viewpoints and still remain fully functional.” – F. Scott Fitzgerald
I don’t find artists to be more or less human than anyone else who answers the call, but I do appreciate this quote. As a writer, it’s required for me to shift to and fro from protagonist to antagonist. While shifting, I do want my characters to feel real. So I create them to have viewpoints that make sense and feel human.
How do you feel when switching from your protagonist’s point of view to your antagonist’s point of view? Do you hold similar viewpoints in both?
