"I, too, am tired of hearing people say a character is “unsympathetic,” though at least the term is more nuanced than “unlikeable.” But who is at fault when a character is unsympathetic? If we have not a single way in — if said character has a heart of ash and no desires anyone could relate to — then OK, the author has painted him or her a one-dimensional villain. But if there is any avenue by which readers might relate, however uncomfortably, to the character, then we must ask who is being less sympathetic: the character or the reader?" Agreed!!
