人物可以说是小说中最重要的部分——他们推动故事发展,使故事浑然一体。人物的塑造,无论是在作者的构思中还是在故事本身中,都至关重要。以下阐述了人物塑造对小说或书籍的重要性。
为什么性格发展对小说或书籍很重要
建立地块
情节与人物密不可分。情节源于人物的行为,故事中的种种事件塑造了人物的性格和品质。因此,正是人物赋予情节意义,引领情节跌宕起伏。换言之,人物是驾驶情节这架飞机的飞行员。
让结局更圆满
Rounded characters, that are well developed in the author’s mind and in the story, which the plot moulds and betters, are what readers take away from the story. They make the ending fulfilling, because the reader witnesses a journey. This & the reader feel he has come a long way, which makes him more attached to the story.

帮助读者与故事建立联系
读者可能与故事情节、背景或其他虚构元素产生共鸣,也可能不产生共鸣,因为这些元素可能与读者自身无关。但读者最先与之产生共鸣的是人物,因为作者赋予了人物人性化的特质。因此,读者必须对人物产生强烈的情感,无论是喜爱还是憎恨,故事才能成立。
增强本书的影响力
一本情节新颖但人物扁平的书,如果人物缺乏背景故事、缺陷和救赎的契机,就会显得苍白无力。这是因为读者在阅读过程中会与人物产生情感共鸣,并跟随他们的经历。读者会从人物的视角来看待整个故事。因此,如果人物塑造失败,故事也就失去了感染力。

让冲突更真实、更引人入胜
故事的冲突,也就是让读者产生共鸣和信念的要素,都围绕着主人公展开。如果主人公的形象塑造不够丰满,读者无法对其产生强烈的情感共鸣,那么冲突就无法充分提升故事的紧张感,读者对整本书的满意度也会随之降低。
将情节、对话、主题和场景联系在一起
角色是无处不在的存在。他/她将小说中的所有其他元素联系起来。角色推动情节发展,创造对话,与环境互动,并揭示贯穿始终的主题。这些元素也正是通过角色彼此连接起来的。角色说出的对话推动情节发展,他/她在特定环境中的行为也推动情节发展,角色在对话中的反应揭示了贯穿始终的主题。
让书脱颖而出
Plots may not always be ingenious, nor are settings always unique. For example, most romance stories have typical plots – boy meets girl (or girl meets girl or boy meets boy) and they fall in love. Then circumstances separate them, leading to either a sad ending or a redemptive plot twist that gives a happy ending. But what & the book stand out is who these characters are, how richly developed they are, how they change with circumstances and how real they are.

允许读者对他/她自己的生活做出暗示
Characters are the most relatable elements of the story – the reader may not connect with anything else, but must relate to the characters. Not only does this make the reader more involved in the story, but also allows him to associate himself or herself with the story. This in turn & the reader love the story more and remember it vividly. The character results in the story being impactful. If the character tanks, so does the story.
