Search the ModOasis archives. There was a thread awhile back about literary

characters. I think there's a list somewhere on

www.mental-health-today.com/bpd but I can't find it.

Mercurial personality type

These TV & cartoon aren't BPD, but...

Hi ,

I dunno about Shakespeare. Did they ever decide if he was a woman? There

was some kind of controversy going on about that a decade or two ago and

I never heard the end of it. Personally, my interests were more into

science. But, contemporarily, BPDs include Martha , and

vintage-wise there's . Plus there's lots of PD'ed

actors/actresses now-a-days in Hollywood. We just need one of them to

step up and be the poster person for BPD. <huh! fat chance!>

Hi Edith. I have never heard the rumor of Shakespeare being a

woman... certainly there are many historians who think he was a

homosexual, but that's probably a topic for a different yahoo

group

, huh? No wonder she was so brilliant in " Who's

Afraid of Virginia Woolfe? " Now that I think about it, her

character Martha would certainly fit the BPD profile with heavy HPD

as well. I performed in WAVW a few years ago as the character

Honey, and now I am reminded of how often and Martha's banter

reminded me of my own home. Also was one of my father's favorite

movies for some reason. Pretty cool how the reflection of life on

stage, screen, or page can be so enlightening at times.

Such sexist nonsense! Some people just assume that a man can't write

sensitively!

Did you ever see and Burton in the film " The

Taming of the Shrew " ? A lovely and humorous portrait of BPD by

Shakespeare, well cast in the film.

Thanks for the list. More to watch<g>

But they forgot . When my husband and I watched that the first time about

20 years ago he said it was just like my mother (except nada does not believe in

God, per se) He was right, I knew it at the time. Horror or horrors.
