Going away from cupcake characters and romantic tropes, I want to write a very intelligent but realistic characters.
I was wondering: What are the motivations for these characters. Really, I'm lead to the question what the "return value" of being alive and successful really is. For example, I can't help but think eveb rich successful business men have it sometimes worse than me. Marries with kids, only stress with those, and vacation is literally just to off time from work. That's hoe it seems.

I'm impressed by Nicolas Winding Refn type protagonists: Individuals who are doomed to fail and know it. But I'm dreaming up characters with more resources than his have.

Tolstoy wrote good intelligent and rich characters in War and Peace.
