Curious characters can add a certain whimsy to a story and can be diverting for the reader. In film and TV sometimes the curious character can become the star think of Dr Spock in Star Trek or the weird villain in any number of crime or cowboy TV shows and movies. In fiction the curious character can have gravitas and pathos think of tiny in ‘Of mice and men’. Three cheers for curious characters.

Great post, as usual!

P.S. Why does Curious George have to be so stinkin' cute? :D

Have I mentioned how brilliant you two are? Just today I looked up “angry,” and used one of your suggestions. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. You’re like Cliff Notes for writers 😀 (<=my extreme happy face)

At times, my cat is too curious for his own good. He’ll use his nose to move items around, trying to find out what is underneath. Don’t let him around one of my piles of papers. He’s sent a few falling to the floor.

I think most writers are curious folks – I know I’m always, always asking questions and I love to find out ‘stuff’! 🙂

Hi there! I just found your blog and I'm quite taken by it. This entry on the curious character trait is interesting, and it's already spawned a few new ideas.

I don't know why, but for whatever reason it never occurred to me to look for writing blogs; I usually hang around artsy/crafty places. I'm not even sure how I got here, but here I am, and now I've enlisted as a stalker. Don't worry, I'm not usually dangerous.

Usually. Anyway, stop by for a visit, if you like: scissorsandsteam.blogspot.com :)

As someone with a life-long insatiable curiosity, I prefer to think of it as a thirst for knowledge. Curiosity may have killed the cat, but satisfaction brought him back.

I love curious, inquisitive children. The “whys” are so much fun to speculate. Thanks for this entry!!
