S5E2: Why is reading about relatable characters so fun? Why is it so frustrating when a character feels completely unrelatable? Is character relatability actually important to us as readers? Can fantasy characters still be realistic?
These are some of the questions we delve into during this episode about unrelatable book characters. To begin, we go down a rabbit hole of discovering the differences between realistic vs. relatable/unrealistic vs. unrelatable when it comes to analyzing book characters. Our working definitions thus defined, we then share what the internet seems to think about the whole realistic/relatable character debate before getting into which characters we find the most relatable and unrelatable across both fantasy and fiction.
