There is so much in dark psychology that I could discuss. One part is the angles of what you are looking at. I see dark psychology in three categories. One is the mental side. One is the physical, and the last is the emotional angle. Each angle has a different way of looking at the effects and the causes of certain darker behaviors. I think it’s important to look at these angles when writing a character. Why? Because it is important to know each angle to know how to write a character in a way that can reach a reader. That is what every good writer wants, to reach their readers. So looking at these angles can help develop a great character.
Knowing the mental, emotional, and physical aspects of why the character does what they do and why they behave the way they do can develop a character with depth. I am not perfect in my character development, but I try to use every method at my disposal to develop a character with depth, and that makes sense. In this process, I do research and look at the outcome that I want verse the proper response that my character should have. I take each angle and look at the overall picture. What do you look at when developing a character?
