EPQ Question Help

Hiya,

I need some help as to what my EPQ question should be. I know it has to be quite specific and whilst I have a clear idea of what I want to base my project on, I need help with how to create a question.

My idea is related to Psychology and English Literature:

- The psychological development of characters by authors that causes them to have their own unique personalities and thought processes.
- Psychology behind why readers, feel emotions towards characters, despite them being fictional characters in fictional worlds.
- How we feel as though we actually know them as people both throughout and at the end of reading a novel.
- Why fictional characters' lives matter to us.

I know the title has to be concise but I'd really like to include these things if possible. Obviously the last 3 points are all similar, and whilst the first point is related, it's not so much about the readers' connection to a character, but the author's role in their development.

I ideally want to look into the psychology behind the development of characters by authors and how this builds the psychological connection between the character and reader.

Thank you!
