it just about works for ‘sex and the city’ and maybe ‘frasier’. but not ‘entourage’.

Countdown:

Carol—the slut

Richard—the innocent

random dictionary corner dude e.g. RICK WAKEMAN—the cynic

Suzy Dent—the sophisticated centre

the office (u.s.)

jim—the slut

dwight—the innocent

stanley—the cynic

there is no sophisticated center, they’re all insane

kate—the slut

sawyer—the cynic

jack—the innocent

locke—the sophisticated center

Surely innocent = Hurley?

Anyway, HEROES:

Niki—the slut

Mohinder—the cynic

Claire—the innocent

Hiro—the sophisticated centre

can’t be done for lost.

I still prefer this typology:

From The Glossary of Literary Terms:

“The Old Comedy of the Greeks had three stock characters whose interactions constituted the standard plot: the alazon, or imposter and self-deceiving braggart, the eiron, or self-derogatory and understating character, whose contest with the alazon is central to the comic plot; and the bomolochos, or buffoon, whose antics add an extra comic element....Northrop Frye has revived these old terms [and] added a fourth, the agroikos — the rustic or easily deceived character.”

Obviously: Alazon = Blanche; Eiron = Dorothy; Bomolochos = Sophia; Agroikos = Rose

haha you don’t agree on any one point!!!

part of what’s good about ‘entourage’ is that the characters develop, as the golden girls didn’t. so e maybe *starts* as the innocent, and vince *seems* to be tougher than he actually is.
