: Re: Need help portraying a character's personality in my First Person POV Narrative I'm writing a First-Person POV story that is following the main protagonist. I'm trying to get to the main plot,

Firstly, I'm going to assume you've read plenty of First Person PoV novels?

I'm reading something that I need to read for an assignment. It's a PoV novel in First Person, and you know the character is an infuriating, pompous ass just from some of the interactions he has. He narrates meeting one of the other main characters and talks about her in a tone that sounds like it could be a compliment, but turns out is not - he says she'd look better in a her wax coat and wellies than an evening dress. It's a really nasty paragraph that shows up what an ass this character actually is.

The compulsion in continuing to read the character comes from wanting to get to the bottom of the mystery of the novel. So, also, are your circumstances compelling enough as well.

But I'd honestly go back to some first person novels first.
