Character-driven narrative

A character-driven narrative focuses on the personal growth, motivations, and emotions of the characters rather than external events or plot twists. In this type of story, the characters' decisions and interactions shape the direction of the narrative. Readers become invested in the characters' journeys, experiencing their challenges and transformations. This approach emphasizes depth and complexity in character development, allowing for a more intimate connection between the audience and the story. Examples include literary fiction and many dramas, where understanding the characters' internal worlds is crucial to grasping the story's significance.
