Joël Dicker: A character is no more a human being than the Venus de Milo is a real woman. A character is a work of art, a metaphor for human nature. We relate to characters as if they were real, but theyre superior to reality. Their aspects are designed to be clear and know- able; whereas our fellow humans are difficult to understand, if not enigmatic. We know characters better than we know our friends because a character is eternal and unchanging, while people shift—just when we think we understand them, we dont. In fact, I know Rick Blaine in CASABLANCA better than I know myself. Rick is always Rick. Im a bit iffy.
