There are a lot of places we can go with this little game. For instance, we can start asking the question "Who does this character remind me of?"
- Maybe it's your mother or father.
- Maybe it's a teacher you had a long time ago.
- Maybe a childhood friend.
- Maybe a childhood enemy..:
As patterns or themes start to emerge, you can name the characters. So what does your cast of characters look like? Here's some of mine:
- The Judge (sounds and feels a lot like my mother)
- The Despairing Convict (my mother as Victim)
- The Foreman (sounds and feels a lot like my father)
- The Misunderstood Genius (I got that one from a high school teacher)
There are more, but you get the idea. Recognizing these characters can help you recognize them as conditioning and keep you from getting stuck playing one.
