I find it enjoyable when characters temporary go out-of-character, as 
part of a (good) story plot. 

For example: 
- Gladstone having bad luck
- Donald being a millionaire
- Scrooge being bankrupt

I find it interesting to see how the characters behave and interact in 
such exceptional situations. Like the reader, they're not used to their 
different status and they have to find a solution in an everyday world 
that suddenly is strange to them.
