characterization, redoux
I am going to tie in the discussion of the Super Duper Magical Negro to this informal series of posts on characterization. What I would like to do is to consider the character Coffe from King's The Green Mile, and how he fits or doesn't fit into the idea of the SDMN. So first I'll try to put together a SDMN character analysis based on other writings.
You realize I'm just mumbling to myself, here. You're welcome to come along for the ride and I hope you'll have something to say, but if not, I'll carry on.
But first I have to take the Mathematician to see the neurosurgeon (I'm sorry, I can't help thinking about McDreamy), and then I've got to get a lot of writing done.
