Stanislavski: Inner Motive Forces
The 12th chapter of An Actor Prepares is about how we all act with our mind, feelings and will. These three things live in balance and in harmony, each actor having their own. The Director describes some of Shakespeare's famous roles, pairing them with one of the three inner motive forces. Romeo or Othello emphasize the emotional side, Macbeth is very willfull, and Hamlet depends on intelligence. I thought that this was pretty interesting and wonder which type of actor I am. If I had to guess, I would probably go with emotional, but I'm not too sure about it.
