Would it count as brooding if:

1. The character's melancholy was somewhat central to the plot? Like the story revolving around a person trying to fit into the school unsuccessfully?

2. If the character was amnesiac, but didn't mind it at first, only to become anxious as to what those memories might contain later? What if I wrote the story in a more soul search-y instead of brooding?

Thank you :D
