I totally agree with out. I think that the flaws of a character are what define him and the key to character development.Anna Dougherty wrote: ↑01 Jul 2020, 12:25 I think that the protagonist of the story does not have to be an exceptionally good person to be the main character in a book. I believe that his character flaws are important to the plot.

I think all of Grant's flaws make him an all the more relatable character. Everyone is far from perfect and I don't think you have to be a necessarily good person to be a book's protagonist. I think the more imperfect a character is, the more relatable and believable she/he is. After all, aren't we all?Ferdinand_otieno wrote: ↑01 Jul 2020, 03:31 Grant is a likeable character in the beginning of the book when he is dedicated to finding his uncle. He shows bravery and dedication while also exercising caution in trusting those in the expedition. He however finds himself in a sexual relationship with Irina despite his distrust, and she was only one of many unwise interactions with women. Despite his unique and exciting bond to wolves I found him a subpar protagonist.
What is your opinion of Grant as a protagonist and why?
