"...self-awareness is achieved when 'You are conscious of your existence and your actions. You are aware of yourself and your own ego.'

Are our characters capable of becoming self-aware?

I argue, yes, they are.

When our characters do something surprising or different than we had planned, our characters become self-aware.

When our characters speak in a way that is totally foreign to how we, the author, process the world, they are self-aware." - Christina Delay
