The Holy Fool

This idea first jumped forward to me when I first started to look at narratives analytically earlier this semester. I think I will study what the idea of the fool, or more classically refereed too as the Trickster, through my eyes. Trickster characters have always been a favorite of mine. There are specific moments in my life where I remember being exposed to these sorts of archetypes and I remember them being relatable to a point that I looked for these characters in real life. I did some light reading on the subject. A few highlighted points that I want my characters to address for this short will be listed bellow.

- In pairs Tricksters relish in disruption of the status quo

- The ordinary world turns to chaos at the turn of a phrase or through physical antics

- Sometimes they don't change in their movie but their arch causes change in the world that reacts to them

- Laughter to see absurdity of situations, and force a change

- Sidekick in Westerns

- Mentor in Romantic Comedies(best friend)

- Help Heros outwit and disarm a villain or enemy

- Their Voice can be the most sane and reliable in the confusion of a journey.

These are the ideals that are informing my character. I will reffer to this post when thinking about the final production. It is just reference not a set of rules. 

Here is a study that I was looking at when thinking about these things! Swerve
