His parents divorce when he is 8, he has the personality of a normal child until he turns 13, where he becomes reclusive, stays in that shy, timid state to 23 where he finds out that he is a child of an affair and has never met his dad, gets his first job at that late age, works for 4 years with no change in his life but finally meets a group of friends who help him make friends and find some light romance, only to collectively turn on him after one year... He then seeks to take all that he learned from his later interaction with people and make his own friends and does only fairly well, but every time he does his FORMER friends meddle and tell super-slanderous rumors about him, to which all of his latest contacts arbitrarily believe and keep disowning him... then he goes berserk and goes after these former friends, to his own demise, his last deeds being detestable at best...
Avid readers, is there any sympathy towards him to you?
(Disclaimer: This is solely for a work of fiction. Writing is a hobby of mine, and I want to know if I need to add a few redeeming qualities to this character, or even eliminate a few negative characteristics. I know that appeal is a necessary thing for the main character of a tragedy.
OK I left out an important aspect of the story, and this is a character very complete. His mother was very controlling and raised him to be very dependant, yet schold him later in life when he wasn't as INdependant as she thought he should be, yet never creating any clear cutoff point for him to start being independant, such as when she did all the paperwork for him for his first apartment, then arbitrarily had the phone company "ban" 900 numbers, even though she had no reason to do so other than false accusation and "control."
