Summary

This quote suggests that writers often imbue their characters with aspects of their own personalities and experiences. Like in dreams, the author believes they project a part of themselves into both male and female characters in their novels. It implies that creating multifaceted characters involves drawing inspiration from personal attributes, bridging the gap between the author's identity and the fictional portrayal. This approach enables writers to effectively explore the intricacies of human nature and create authentic and relatable characters.
