why not?
because they are poorly written.
well, I wouldn't really say poor. It's Steven king level. nothing interesting at all about the writing. plus, all of the characters are flat, one-dimensional caricatures.
the relevance of the story is achieved through the various themes and plot lines--not the characters. They are simply playing along.
much of this was fixed with Peter Jackson's excellent adaptation.
