Job 13:2 "What ye
know, the same do I know also: I am not inferior unto you."
When we write about a
mousy character, we risk writing about a boring person. A character who thinks
she is inferior is likely to passively have things happen to her in the story.
We can write about a
protagonist that others might think is inferior. We might even write about
someone who agrees with society that he is inferior.
But the story will need to
be about how the character breaks out of that stereotype and declares himself
not inferior. Then he behaves proactively to solve the story problem.
