Characterization in 2 Sci.Fi. Stories
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page essay that discusses 2 short stories. George Martin, a science fiction writer, expressed in an interview (Locus, December 2005, 69) that he felt that too often science fiction and fantasy fiction paints characters as being black-and-white and, furthermore, that to humanize them with shades of gray requires multiple viewpoints on a conflict. Two fantasy stories that illustrate Martin's point and offer complex characterization are Poul Anderson's "A Tale of Hauk" and Judith Tarr's "Death and the Lady." In both of these short stories, the characters take on depth and nuance because the authors skillfully show that their main characters have self-doubt and faults, as well as heroic virtues. No additional sources cited.
