Indeed, she may have been relatable but the likability aspect was a bit touch-and-go. One has sympathy for her character, but much of empathy is not as easily attainable.valeriejane wrote: ↑10 Dec 2021, 17:49 I wish that Cecilia had a few human flaws to make her human side more authentic and personable. While I wanted to root for Cecilia, all too often she displayed the hallmarks of a spoiled rich girl who was mad at her daddy.
Did anyone else have a problem relating to Cecilia?
Regarding your comment of 'human flaws', I assume you mean this in terms of physical flaws? For the psychological flaws are almost ever present, as an example you state her being a 'spoiled rich girl who is mad at her daddy'. This said, it may just be that despite her very human psychological flaws, it may just be the type of character she is that puts you off in a way?
Forgive my insights if they are too much, I tend to be a very analytical creature and mean none of my commentary in a negative light, rather as a thought you might want to counter me on.
Great topic to discuss, by the way
