: Re: Thoroughly conveying my protagonist's thoughts and emotions I'm currently writing a story in which our protagonist is trapped in a labyrinth of sorts. The twist here is that she is the monster

I think once you settle on how this transformation takes place that youâ€™ll understand how to relate it in your story. Is the transformation outward to inward â€” they take on appearance of monster and slowly their mind and values are monstery? Or do they wrestle with in inner transformation the takes their mind first and then transforms the body?

And is it continuous? Or can they focus on the mission, or remember their true love and gain respite or ground from the transformation?

Once you have that arc of transformation solidly understood, then youâ€™ll see how to represent it in terms of the characters dialog, interior thoughts, emotions and actions
