characterisation

The presentation covered 'Pip' from 'Great Expectations and the protagonist from 'Fable'; along with the Difference between characterisation and the true character; characterisation being what the outward appearnces are of the character, what is initally seen. The true character however is how they act, the choices they make and why, it is something that can only really be shown if the player/reader is willing to go through their story.

How the character in Fable progressively gets older, gains battle scars; depending on how the player goes about their playthrough. 'Protagonist' is the blank slate character, his journey and experiences are dependant on the player; the player is the hero and the author; they create the story for this hero and they themselves are the hero.

The name 'Pip' implies he is a pip, seed which will grow into something bigger.His real name is never mentioned and his title progresses to Mr.Pip.
He is in a similar light, the same as protagonist from Fable, he is seeing the potiential and making something of it, he is the hero.
