A Loveletter to the Imperfect Protagonist
This video essay has been a real passion project of mine.
Amicia De Rune, the protagonist from the "A Plague Tale" game series, has a special place in my heart as I haven't felt a closer connection with any fictional character as with her. But why? What makes her so unique? In this video essay I try to uncover how the developers created such a uniquely human character by analyzing different aspects of her personality, gameplay, and themes in the narrative.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to watch this loveletter of mine to this amazing character!
