Question

I was given a thesis for my paper:

Character motivation withing various works of literature prove that only blindness can provide peace in society.

There are selected novels I must use for quotes. But what I don't understand is Character motivation.

Could someone explain what character motivation is to me?

Answer 1

character motivation is the reason behind the character's actions. It's what makes the character do what he/she does.

Answer 2

This motivation can be physical( a need to survive extreme hardship), mental ( a need to figure out a problem or situation) or emotional (sadness, fear, joy, etc.)
