Reasons behind a character's actions.
Character motivation is what drives a speaker or persona to act, think, or feel in a poem — their goals, desires, fears, and needs. It explains why they make the choices depicted. (Not their physical appearance, the poem’s rhyme scheme, or the historical context—though context can influence motivation.)
