If taken out of context, the characters, yes, could seem a
bit too idealized to be believable. However, the characters in any story should
be considered on par with all a story’s literary elements. For instance, the story takes place in the
distant future after a great war where there is a great deal of brainwashing of
people that has taken place. With all
that in mind, it is understood that pretty much anything can be possible, which
makes the characters—as idealized as they may seem to some—all the more believable.
