A reader who is trying to identify with a character in a story might ask which of the following questions? A. What would other characters have done had they known this? B. How would I have written this section? C. What would I have done in that situation? D. Where would I have set this story?

C.

When a reader wants to identify with a character, they want to relate and understand the character's intentions, desires, and motives. If the character does something completely different than the reader, the reader is less likely to connect with the character because their choices don't make sense.

Especially in first person written books, the reader will often see themselves as the character directly.
