Description | Content |
Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | In many genres, we expect the story to be told from a specific Point of View, with a certain character role that is expected to be The Protagonist. Some writers like to mix it up, though, and tell their story from a different and unexpected point of view, and show the events from somebody else's perspective, who does not have the central role in the story. That's the Focal Character: someone who would normally be a secondary character by conventions of the genre is actually the main character. This is often done to have another Point of View to a story, so we can see it from a perspective other than what's typical. When done wrong however, it could easily lead to the character becoming the Non-Action Guy. |
