S59E3 - Six: Naming Characters with Numbers

from Writing Roots Hosted by Writing Roots

Using numbers to name your characters has several unique aspects which can help define the character themselves. It's common enough with the number six that it is even the name of the trope3 on TV Tropes. From providing anonymity to adding a sense of dehumanization, the use of a number name is wide.
