Detailed explanation-1: -Character motivation is the reason behind a character’s behaviors and actions in a given scene or throughout a story. Motivations are intrinsic needs: they might be external needs and relate to survival, but they might also be psychological or existential needs, such as love or professional achievement.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are two different types of motivation: intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic and extrinsic motivations are related to internal and external desires and conflicts. Intrinsic motivations are often looser motivations that relate to feelings and thoughts.

Detailed explanation-3: -Motivation is what drives a character to say what he says and to do what he does. Actors try to understand what motivates the characters so they’ll best know how to portray them. The better they portray the characters’ motivation, the better the acting and the more believable the script.

Detailed explanation-4: -Motivation makes a character relatable–to the writer and the reader. Understanding why a character is doing something makes them much easier to write, and makes them more human to read. Imagine reading a scene where a character throws a fit and tears up a hotel room without knowing why they’re doing it.

Detailed explanation-5: -Give each character their own credible motivation. Give characters conscious and unconscious motivations. Show how motives stem from rational and irrational beliefs. Develop characters’ motivations with new plot events. More items
