: Re: How do I write an emotional scene? The scene is about one of the protagonist who was until now, more a cold than a warm person. However she's not a sociopath, she just mostly hides her emotions

The real challenge here is writing the earlier scenes. A character might not express emotions, but they had better feel them, or the reader will have a hard time caring.

If you look at a book like The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, the main character is autistic and has difficulty connecting with other people; however, he feels strong emotions, and this places the reader inside the character's head.

Likewise, a sociopath can still experience a wide range of emotions. In A Clockwork Orange, the main character is very emotional. He's just completely lacking in empathy.
