Who is your fictional self?

Ah, so you're a headstrong idiot who gains extra abilities as the plot demands and seems to think of plans less in terms of "how effective will this be?" and more in terms of "how many rules can I break in doing this? and what's the chance I can mouth off to my superior officers without punishment?" Lovely role model. (the answer to the latter part is "always". Always always always always always always always always. Oh, Kara, how I wished that just once the Old Man would say to himself "I've had enough of this shit" and slap that stupid self-righteous look off your face)
.

If you mean self assured, willfull, truthful, strong, loves to live in the moment, able to stand by a man as his equal, rules if flawed are meant to be bent or broken kind of girl~~hell yes. If that bothers someone else that's their problem not mine. As far being a role model~~isn't that subjective? But if I think something is wrong or unfair to me or another person, I don't mind taking a stand, and have done it before, in my past, to my own personal risk. Not for any other reason than it was the right thing to do. Not many people, can make that claim.

Card board black and white characters are false. We all have flaws and short comings as well as noble qualities. This makes us human. A good writer understands this and embraces it.

Confirming the idea that I do in fact live under a rock, I'll confess that I've not read the first of your references nor have I seen the second and third of your references. No, I have not seen The Graduate. Look, I'm usually busy doing stuff and I live in places without TV, sorry!

Anyway, reading up on these three characters, MWY, I must say...hm.

The enigmatic riddle continues.

Keep your hands and feet inside the car, ladies and gentlemen. Make sure your seat harnesses are tightened fully and enjoy the ride!

I'll admit that I actually avoided seeing The Graduate when it first came out because it was hugely popular and I was in a stage where I intentionally avoided anything that was culturally popular (thus I've never read Lord of the Rings and did not read Catcher in the Rye until I had to teach it). However, in my somewhat personalized view (is there any other kind, Dr. Strangelove?), The Graduate is one of the best movies made in the U. S. in the second half of the 20th century.

That would bug me too, Gregor.

Was thinking more of the Trial or the Castle but Metamorphosis on certain days too
