Answer 2

What best explains why complex characters appeal to readers?

A.) Readers are more able to see themselves in such characters.

Complex characters appeal to readers because they present nuanced traits, an array of emotions and contradictions that are identifiable to everybody.

They are compelling because, as real people, they have their virtues and their flaws, not everybody is completely good or completely bad, they commit mistakes and take wrong decisions, they hurt others and others hurt them.

 It is easier for a reader to connect with a multi-layered character than with a unidimensional character, as these do not represent reality.
