"I've always had difficulties with female characters"
- John Le Carre
About this Quote
John Le Carre's quote recommends that he has actually had trouble writing female characters in his works. This might be due to an absence of understanding of the female experience, or an absence of knowledge of how to accurately represent female characters in his stories. It might also be due to the truth that he is a male author, and therefore may not have the ability to relate to the female experience as well as a female author. It might also be due to the truth that he is composing in a genre that is generally male-dominated, and for that reason might not have had the chance to check out female characters in depth. Whatever the factor, it is clear that John Le Carre has actually had trouble writing female characters in his works. This could be a challenge for him to conquer in the future, as female characters are ending up being significantly essential in literature.
