Psychoanalyzing A Movie or Television Character?!
Question: Psychoanalyzing A Movie or Television Character!?
For my critical theory class we have to psychoanalyze any character that has been on tv or in a movie!. Any suggestions as to who would be easy to analyze!? And why!?Www@Enter-QA@Com
Answers:
The character Alex in A Clockwork Orange!. He is very diverse and abnormal!. He represents the absolute evilest of evils and somehow manages to get you on his side!. Watch the movie, and analyze him!. If you'd prefer not to do that, then I would suggest any movie with a non-hero as the main character!. It's always easier to analyze them and always easy to write something interesting based off the analysis!.
For another direction I would suggest Joel or Clementine from Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind!. They both are sickly and make weird decisions, I would recommend Joel since he is the narrator for the most part but both would be easy and interesting!.
Mikal, Zia, or Kneller from wristcutters: a love story!. Kneller may be trickier because he isn't a constant throughout the whole movie, but Zia or Mikal would be easy and interesting!.
Chris from Into The wild!. This would be your best bet since he is a real person and this is a true story!. His decisions were ones that have probably crossed most college students at some time or another!. He would be very easy to psychoanalyze!.
EDIT: also, either of the children in the movie The Squid and The Whale!. Maybe the father, but I think the children would be more interesting!Www@Enter-QA@Com

I use Connor from 'Angel'!. (Who!?)
Angel (vampire) and his ex-girlfriend Darla (vampire) had sex!. Vampires cannot have children!. But in this case, a miracle happened and Darla got pregnant!. She realized her body couldn't give birth, so she staked herself and give birth to a human named Connor!.
Angel was betrayed by his friend Wesley, who kidnapped Connor and accidentally gave him to Holtz, Angel's enemy!. Holtz is a crazy dude from the 16th century whose family was slaughtered by Angel!. As revenge, he took Connor into a hell dimension and raised him like a pycho ninja version of Peter Pan!.
Time travel doo-hickey, Connor came back as a teenager and wanted to kill his father, Angel!. He sealed him in a coffin and threw him in the ocean, but Angel got out!. Connor later slept with Angel's love interest, Cordelia!. Here's the weird thing: Cordelia helped raise baby Connor; she was the closest thing he had to a mother!.
Oedipus Rex complex!. Connor wants to kill his father and sleep with his mother!.

Sounds like an interesting class! I think an interesting character would be Monk (an obsessive compulsive person should be pretty standard, right!?)!.
Or else if it were me, I'd probably pick Jack Bauer!. WHY the guy's always running toward danger!?!? Always the hero!
Good luck with the analysis!!!Www@Enter-QA@Com
