My Dear Delirious:but should they be admired as much as a real person who may have went through something similary? To me, it isn't the case of whether someone "should or shouldn't". If someone identifies more with a literary character, then that's their deal. If they don't have anyone to look up to, or don't want anyone in real life to look up to, then I don't see why people cannot have characters as role models. Especially if they're characters who have real human qualities. Sometimes people are more content looking up to characters. |

What about if you didn't have a real person who you would want to look up to at the time? Just because a character in a story goes through something that a real life person has gone through doesn't mean I would look around for a real person thats gone through the same thing. |

Now, I don't see what's so bad about having a role model, as long as it's not taken too far so the person copies every little thing and knows every little thing their role model does.
Totally agreed.
I tend to look at role models as somebody I look up to, or has inspired me. Role models shouldn't be people you want to become.
