1 Samuel 17:28 "And
Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men; and Eliab's anger
was kindled against David, and he said, Why camest thou down hither? and with
whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride, and
the naughtiness of thine heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see
the battle."
All David was trying to do
was challenge the men, remind them of Who they served, and rally the troops for
battle. We may write scenes where our well-meaning characters’ motives are
misunderstood, too.
The protagonist might be
the out-going type who can’t help reaching out to her fellow characters. Too often
that reaching out might be misunderstood as interference.
The character could be the
introspective type, who is quiet and keeps to himself. Other characters might
misunderstand his motives to ensure his peace and quiet and mistrust him
because they don’t understand him.
