Are there any skills in setting the characters in the novel?

I have read many novels. Many novels are well written. In my mind, the novel characters actually have many ceilings, such as Zhang Wuji, Guo Jing and Yang Guo. These are all good characters in the novel. The ceiling of characters in novels is a metaphor, which refers to a constraint or bottleneck that the author may encounter when portraying characters and shaping characters' personalities in novels, that is, it is difficult to further deepen and expand characters' images and personalities within the original creative framework, resulting in their relative thinness and lack of three-dimensional sense and depth. This situation may affect the quality and popularity of the novel.

In this case, the writer can take some measures to overcome the ceiling, such as:

1. Dig deep into the inner world of the characters, reveal the inner thoughts and feelings of the characters through inner monologues or psychological descriptions, and show a more real and three-dimensional image.

2. Reveal the characters' personalities through their behaviors and words, and describe their personality characteristics through their behaviors and words.

3. Through the interaction between characters and other characters, show the character characteristics of characters, such as interaction with the opposite sex, interaction with friends, family and enemies. , to show the different personality characteristics of the characters.

In a word, for the ceiling problem of characters in novel creation, writers can use various methods to describe characters and personalities in depth from different angles, so as to make them more three-dimensional, true and profound, and thus create more excellent novels.
