Imagine that an author portrays a character as a likable person. However, the author is holding back negative information about the character's personality, actions, and relationships. How might that strategy help create surprise?

Answer:

When the author holds back the characters negative information, they can create a scene far off from the characters introduction, and surprise the reader with an action out of the norm for said character. That is why this strategy works.
