Hi guys,
I've done some reading on this (still a little confused) and gather that a character may or may not be conscious of their flaw depending on the character and story. Am I correct?
For e.g. if my character's flaw is that he is selfish (which blocks his intenral need of power through selflessness in order to achieve his want/story goal) - is my character aware of the fact that he is selfish? This selfishness was brought on by an event in the backstory that traumatised him, and in my development of this character I've determined that he feels like "the world owes him" - and as a result, he's out for himself - which would make it a conscious thing that the plot would then force him to overcome.
Am I on the right track?
