Is this a common thing?
When I read a book (or watch a movie, etc.) for the millionth time. And every time I read it, I’m hoping the characters won’t do something that I already know they’ll do? And I mean literally as if it’s the first time, except of course I know what will happen, except of course I don’t, somehow? It seems totally irrational, but then people aren’t always rational.
Like, if a character is trying to jump over a gap in the ground, and I know they’re going to fall in and die. I still hope they’ll make it. And still feel like maybe they’ll make it this time around. Is this a sign of my weird brain or do most people do this?
(I already know, by the way, that it’s not about how good the writing is. The writing can be great or terrible and it doesn’t affect this at all.)
