This prompt challenges students to explore the concept of cognitive dissonance which refers to the discomfort one feels when holding two opposing beliefs or ideas. Students must create a character in a situation where they are forced to choose between these two conflicting views. The aim is to understand the struggle to reconcile these contradictions and this type of complex character can encourage deep understanding of human nature and promote empathy.
