"Most of our characters are not noted for triumph. Inept contenders with the problems of life, all mistake prone, low men on a short and poorly carved totem pole. We recognize their simple ambitions, their public mistakes, I think, help compensate for or at least make understandable our own private mistakes. "
--Chuck Jones

Agreed! It is the imperfections that make us (and fictional characters) real. Recognizing them is the trick.
