I’d like to mention a movie character, only looking from a different Jungian angle:
I think most would agree that Hannibal (the Cannibal) Lecter, of novel and movie fame, is portrayed as being a strong intellect, a thinker in Jungian terms, knowledgeable on many fronts. He’s also portrayed, it seems to me, as being a powerful intuitive, able to peer into past and future, easily analyzing anyone, even from meager case material. But here’s the rub, he’s also shown as being very much the sensation type, a connoisseur of fine music, food, and drink – questionable food, for sure, but a gourmet all the same.
Why the rub?
Well, how is it that superior intuition can exist alongside superior sensation?
According to Jung, intuition and sensation are in opposition and cancel each other out. One cannot develop as strongly as the other. One must remain inferior.
So how is it that Hannibal is both?
I know he’s only a fictional character. But according to type theory, Hannibal’s personality shouldn’t even exist.
No big deal; just thought I’d throw it out – maybe stir up a “hmmm” or two.
