But that’s the thing. People are complex. You cannot look at another person and really know who they are or what is going on in their mind. There are people who act happy and nice and one day commit suicide. The human mind is complex and our interactions, motivations ideas that come along with that are complex. I think he writes characters at more extremes to represent ideas more than purely real people because it allows you to see what motivates people. It gives a different perspective by him writing like that. It makes you think outside the box.
