Genesis 25:27 "And
the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was
a plain man, dwelling in tents."
Our characters need to be
a study of opposites. The protagonist is short, the villain is tall. The love
interest is muscular, the sidekick is puny.
Opposites carry built-in
conflict. Even the best of friends might envy one another for instance, if one
is married and one is single.
The big conflict is whether or not the protagonist will meet the story goal, but the smaller conflicts of opposites will keep readers’ interest during the story journey.
