Thinking in terms of archetypes

"[It was Beethoven's father's] role to play the amiable and ineffectual Dionysian, heir to the weaknesses of the flesh, as a foil for Maria Magdalena's suffering transcendence of life's tribulations." -- Solomon, pg. 14.

Try to resist the urge to act out an archetype. Such behavior amounts to role-playing, and self-actualization might involve nothing more than having the ability to choose traits from any archetype-- borrowing one character trait from one, and another from another, in a way that suits your personality.
