Some characters in fiction might return a book in person. They would simply walk to the library or the person they borrowed it from and hand it over. For example, in a small - town story, the main character would take the book back to the old librarian who lent it to them with a smile and a thank you.
Well, in some detective - themed fictions, the character might return a book as part of solving a mystery. They would return it in a very cautious way, making sure to leave no fingerprints or any evidence that they had borrowed it in the first place. This could be because the book is somehow involved in a crime, and they need to return it without getting caught.
In a lot of fantasy fictions, characters use magic to return a book. There could be a spell that sends the book back to its rightful place. Like in a world full of wizards, a young apprentice might cast a spell on the book, and it would disappear and reappear on the library shelf where it belongs.
Cursed objects in fiction usually bring misfortune to the characters. For example, the One Ring in 'The Lord of the Rings' slowly corrupted those who carried it, like Frodo. It made them feel the weight of its evil power. The Monkey's Paw brought unexpected and often tragic consequences to those who made wishes on it.
They often rely on magic. For example, in some stories, a wizard might cast a spell to protect the group from the dangers of a cursed forest. Another way is by using special weapons. A hero with a magical sword can fight off the monsters in a dragon's lair. Sometimes, they also form alliances. In a post - apocalyptic wasteland, different groups might team up to face the raiders and mutants.
They are often portrayed as energetic and enthusiastic. For example, like the character mentioned before, Phoebe from Friends. She bounces around with new ideas all the time.
They can play the role of the seer or prophet. Since they can't rely on sight, it gives an air of mystery, making them seem to 'see' things in a different, more spiritual way. For example, the blind oracle in ancient stories.
Stalker novels also sometimes show the bystanders or the people around the stalker and the victim. These characters can range from being completely oblivious to the situation to being enablers. In some novels, they add to the overall atmosphere of unease and mystery as they may or may not be aware of what's really going on.
In buccaneers novels, the characters are usually depicted as living on the edge. They are presented as having a sense of freedom that comes with the pirate life. They might be portrayed as lawless to some extent, but also with their own moral codes. Take Captain Hook in 'Peter Pan' for instance. He is a menacing buccaneer, yet he has his own set of rules within his crew. They are also shown as having a love for treasure and adventure, always seeking the next big score.
Often, they show a sense of loneliness. For example, in many novels, the exiled character might be isolated on an island or in a foreign land. They feel cut off from their former lives and loved ones.
Often, they end with a resolution of the main conflict. For example, in the 'Hunger Games' series, the main conflict was the oppressive regime of the Capitol. By the end, Katniss helps to overthrow the Capitol and a new, more just society begins to be built.
Well, many survival fiction stories end with a sense of hope or renewal. In 'I Am Legend', although the main character sacrifices himself, his actions lead to the possible salvation of humanity. In 'Lord of the Flies', the boys are rescued, which is a form of survival from the chaos they had created on the island. Also, in 'Hatchet', the boy is eventually rescued after learning so much about survival in the wilderness, and he has a new - found confidence and strength that he didn't have before.
In many fictions, magic rings are linked to the wearer's will or intention. The Green Lantern's ring in DC Comics works based on the wearer's willpower. The stronger the will, the more powerful the constructs created by the ring. In other cases, magic rings may have a set of pre - defined functions. For instance, a ring might be able to heal wounds, but only when the wearer concentrates on that specific power. Magic rings can also be used as a means of communication in some fictional universes, allowing the wearer to connect with other ring - bearers or entities.
