What would your Character kill for?

This was one of the questions asked at a seminar, I, and other writers attended. Initially, no-one had any idea, but then gradually, it was amazing what some writers thought of.

So I ask you, what would your character kill for?

'What would your Character kill for?'

I thought the question was a metaphor.

This a really good question. I think one reason for do this it's if the death of that character adds something important in the plot and story. Well, I say that because I'm writing my story and several characters are going to die, but that yes, all and each one of the deaths add something important to story and, especially, to plot.

I think if I were to write a story where my character would have to kill for something, it would definately have to be for love.
