In this link about character development, the author describes basic male archetypes that are found in a romance novel. http://www.likesbooks.com/eight.html My question is: although this is very helpful, the qualities described are hard to flesh out. For example...the ceo boss archetype...what would be the details of this character(likes/dislikes/hobbies/way of conduct) that would really bring alive the qualities of this archetype. How would he conduct himself around people? Around women? I know the long answer is to read books and more books and pay close attention to thedetails of the character. But is there a guide available on this to get started?
Answer
The CEO Boss archetype
He is anxiously building his image as:
A ruhtles utilitarian, ostensibly displaying his contempt of everything what cannot fit into account records. He doesn't need to follow rules, he is stating them. All people - even his own family - have the only value for him: profit (financial, emotional, ... etc).
Cold power available to the highest bidder.
Some examples of CEO Bosses:
- Reinhard Heydrich
- Joseph Fouché
- Michael Douglas in Wall Street
- Jack Thompson in The Assassination of Richard Nixon
- Robert De Niro in Angel Heart
- Francisco Rabal in Torquemada
(I cannot imagine any CEO to be someone's "best friend" or a "prince on a white horse".)
