[b]Pooh definitely loves honey...[/b]
Unlike most protagonist of stories, Pooh is not driven by a quest nor fights against an opponent. Instead, Pooh simply interacts with his fellow wood residents and gets into mischievous situations. Pooh’s one notable trait that prevents him to complete tasks is his constant quest for honey, which he seems to adore almost as much as Christopher Robin (if not more so). And this is also often the cause of the conflict in the stories centered on Pooh, notably including a chapter where he gets stuck in a hole leading to Robin’s underground home. This need for honey also can indirectly affect other characters, which is best seen when Pooh wishes to give Eeyore honey for his birthday but eats it all after becoming hungry. Although Pooh often complicates matters due to his uncontrollable hunger for honey, he never purposely wishes to hurt his friends and even tries to find solutions to fix his problems. Pooh basically seems to be a very pure character with good intentions which can sometimes be affected by his character flaw.
