What our favourite characters say about us

A favourite character is not always a role model. Sometimes they are a mirror, a contradiction, a refuge, a warning or a more expressive version of something already within us.

The hero we admire

When a character inspires us, they may point to a strength we value: courage, loyalty, freedom, humour, gentleness or clarity. Admiration often says something about our values.

The character who unsettles us

Some characters fascinate us because they carry a more troubling side: anger, pride, loneliness, control or the urge to break everything. Looking at them symbolically does not mean approving of them.

The comforting character

Other figures reassure us. They recall a familiar place, a loyal bond, a way to survive or a promise we would like to hear more often.
