THE SHAPESHIFTER

Jung believed that shapeshifters are symbolic of the Self, which is always growing, changing, and developing. In a sense, all principal characters are shapeshifters. Principal characters should develop through the course of the story, and development means that the characters change in some significant way. The slick big-city reporter (Jean Arthur) in Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936) becomes less jaded when she falls in love with the innocent and wholesome Deeds (Gary Cooper). The egoistic, womanizing airforce cadet (Richard Gere) in An Officer and a Gentleman (1982) is transformed into a caring soul by his love for a town girl (Debra Winger). And Bud (Charlie Sheen), the eager young stockbroker in Wall Street (1987), is corrupted by a crooked financial fat-cat (Michael Douglas) and turned into a back-stabbing, greedy scoundrel. In the 3rd act, Bud shifts shape once again and is reborn as a man with integrity and honor.
