![]() ![]() ![]() Hototo, from “ Broken Flute Cave.” Motivation: to maintain traditions of the tribe, to keep connections with ancestors, and to sustain music.Here are my listed motivations for some characters in my stories, along with how Maslow might have categorized them: Think of these two things this way: a goal is a specific thing you want a motivation (or need) is why you want it. When creating characters for a story, I write down both their motivation and goal in my notes. If your character is practicing to be a concert pianist (Self-actualization), and her house catches fire, it’s more realistic to have her run to save herself (Physiological need) than to remain at the piano. A person doesn’t just step up the levels of a pyramid, but rather moves through a series of waves.įictional characters have motivations and needs like real people. However, a succession of overlapping curves more accurately reflects Maslow’s theory. Most often, you’ll see this hierarchy depicted as a pyramid. ![]()
