It's Often because of the Flaws that Heroes are Made

None of us are perfect; we all make mistakes.  That's why we like characters that are flawed.  We can relate to them. That's what good writers do, they write people that are flawed, even the heroes.  Here are some of Arrows best characters' flaws. Whose do you relate to?

   Oliver Queen--He's afraid to trust people.  He has a difficult time letting people in.  He only let's them know a certain part of himself.

                                Felicity--She's too idealistic.  She wants everything to fit neatly in tidy ways, and therefore she's sometimes quick to judge.

Diggle-- He probably was the most balanced of all the team members, but he tends to have high expectations.     
          Quintin Lance--At first it looks like booze his weakness, but why do people drink?  Do they want to escape the realism  of life?  He had a picture of what he wanted out of life, and then that picture fell apart, and he couldn't cope.  Was he too controlling?

The writers created strong characters so that in spite of their flaws, maybe even because of them, they become heroes.
