4:14 / 3 Stages to Build a Relationships: the Tripod / Discovering Characters

 Continuing Last Episode’s Focus on the Couple Bond / Relationships

Relationships of Choice are built in three stages.

The bond between a couple is not driven solely by instinct or chemical pheromones. It is not mere attraction of the eyes. The links of the bond are formed by more than common association.

An enduring Relationship of Choice requires three parts, occurring in stages. It’s a Tripod, and each leg, built one after the other, becomes dependent on the other.

4 Last but not Least / Discovering Characters

 In our look at Jungian archetypes for primary characters, we have four that are the most unexpected of all.

 These four can become surprising protagonists. As antagonists, they seem pathetic--until we realize that we deal with these conflict-creators every day of our lives.

It’s the 4 Last but not Least Primaries.

Contents

• 0:39 Intro
• 1:12 Opening
• 1:54 Everyman / Victim
• 3:27 Lover / Stalker / Siren / Seducer
• 6:13 Innocent / Willfully Blind
• 7:47 Trickster / Fool
• 12:19 Closing

4 Bright Lights or Hot Messes / Disc. Characters

 When we study character analyses, we’re often left with the sense that these discussed protagonists and antagonists are masculine rather than feminine.  In this episode, we’ll look at women in the leadership position, positive forms as well as negative. Women can burn brightly, illuminating all around them, or can burn themselves up when they fall prey to the worst inside themselves.

We’re looking at women as primary characters, from ancient days to the present. You may wish to reference our previous episode on $ Types of Leaders: Alpha / Beta / Gamma / Delta.

(You may consider these four leadership episodes and think “no update for trans or nonbinary?” Well, whether a character is trans or non-binary, that character will still fall into one of these dichotomous truths from primitive days to now.)

Contents

• 0:39 Intro
• 1:25 Bright Lights
• 2:47 Ancient Days
• 4:30 Queen Alpha / B*tch
• 5:30 Counselor Beta / Courtier
• 6:07 Non-Conformist Gamma / Little Miss Independent
• 7:01 Visionary Delta / Missionary
• 8:02 A Woman’s Conflict
• 9:41 Genetic Wiring in Men and Women
• 13:13 Closing

4 Unheroic Heroes / Disc. Characters

 Our last episode examined the 4 Classic Hero Leaders who can become protagonists with developed personalities and flaws. Skew them sideways, and they become antagonists.
