PERSONALITY
|
|
Morality
|
Low. Does not seem to offer a way of reaching/ summoning him, yet is not responsive to those who need his guidance.
|
Intro/extrovert
|
Should be extrovert; is introvert
|
Intelligence
|
High, if he can give perfect advice in any situation
|
Emotions
|
|
Sanity
|
Ironically, his reluctance to help may indicate sanity-- who wants to go to war zones and disaster areas?
|
Enemies
|
None, but many are disappointed by him.
|
Narrative Function
|
Catalyst. Perhaps his lack of response spurs some to self-motivated action.
|
Other Notes
|
It could be that Everyman's reluctance to help is part of a strategy to promote self-reliance. Sure, he could tell them how to solve their problems. But would they follow his advice? Also, if people become dependent on him, they never learn how to solve their own problems, or develop the confidence that brings.
