After meeting a group of these people, the narrator jumps up and uses an ivory paper cutter as a dagger and his umbrella as a scimitar. A character reasons that since these people only achieve art when they are perfect they must hew to convention, echoing the Coquelin school. In a book titled for this type of person, the ill-posing of the thought “I wish to be a misogynist” causes a failure to converge on a Super-Objective. Concepts like The Unbroken Line and (*) Emotion Memory appear in a book titled for one for these people, which ends with an exercise involving looking for a brooch. Building a Character follows up on a book in which Kostya trains to be one of these people under Tortsov, who teaches examples from Woe from Wit. For 10 points, what sort of people are trained via the Stanislavski system? ■END■
