They see life as a grandiose melodrama, where every emotion is heightened. They can’t just feel pain, they feel extreme pain. A romantic gesture isn’t enough, it has to be grand and over-the-top. Power of Idealism Characters don’t know what the words “complacent” or “satisfactory” mean.<\/p>\n
Throughout April, we will look at epic heroes, separated lovers and those coming of age. The dramatic types who are never satisfied, and treat life as a never-ending pursuit for something better.
