Trickster Archetype

from To Trope or Not to Trope Hosted by To Trope Or Not To Trope

He’s witty, he’s unhinged, and he’s here to give your Hero a hard time. From comic relief sidekicks to actual trickster gods, the Trickster Archetype is a meta character that keeps your protagonist guessing (and occasionally gives them a swift kick in the pants). Join us this episode as we discuss whether it’s possible to write an unlikable Trickster or write from the Trickster’s point of view, and whether you should even try writing a Trickster at all.
