Sympathetic character
 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2012) |
A sympathetic character is a fictional character in a story whom the writer expects the reader to identify with and care about,[1] if not necessarily admire. Protagonists, almost by definition, fit into the category of a sympathetic character; so, however, do many supporting characters and even antagonists. A sympathetic character is usually a well developed one.
