Question (I): Is there any sense in which it can be said truthfully that this or that member of the cast does in fact transcend some other member? Or are the ten no more or less than as described, a cast of characters, and therefore no judgment of transcending superiority or immanent inferiority can be objectively arrived at?
I have no idea what Emojiess is talking about. As for your question, I assume you're talking about the cast list for a play or screenplay. What play or screenplay?
Emojiess is now banned for all the nonsense and non-answers and wrong answers she/he has been posting. I'm removing as many as I can.
Please answer Reed's questions re title and author.
Thank you, Writeacher. :)
@Keon - Generally a cast list does not indicate much about the character except his or her relationship to other characters (spouse, aunt, father, etc.), age,and/or profession, etc. Inferiority and superiority is not implied (but could be inferred, I suppose).
To determine whether a member of a cast transcends another or if there is any objective judgment of superiority or inferiority, we need to clarify the criteria for transcendence and establish a framework for evaluation. Without specific criteria or context, it becomes difficult to make an objective judgment.
Here's a step-by-step process to approach such an evaluation:
1. Define the criteria: Determine the factors or qualities that would denote transcendence in the context of the cast. For example, acting skills, critical acclaim, popularity, or character development could be potential criteria.
2. Gather relevant information: Collect data and information about each member of the cast and their achievements, accolades, or impact. This could involve researching their performances, awards, reviews, fan receptions, or any other relevant sources.
3. Analyze the data: Evaluate the gathered information based on the defined criteria. Compare the members of the cast against each other, considering their individual strengths and achievements.
4. Consider diverse perspectives: Recognize that opinions on transcendence may vary, and personal preferences can influence judgments. It is essential to consider multiple viewpoints and be open to different interpretations.
5. Contextualize the evaluation: Account for the specific context of the cast and the work they are involved in. Different roles or genres might require different qualities or have distinct measures of success. Keep in mind the purpose and significance of the cast within the particular production.
6. Form an opinion: Based on the analysis and understanding of the criteria, draw your own conclusion regarding whether one member transcends others. Remember that this judgment will be influenced by personal interpretation and the weight you assign to each criterion.
In summary, to provide an objective evaluation of whether a member of the cast transcends others, it is necessary to define the criteria, gather relevant information, analyze the data, consider diverse perspectives, contextualize the evaluation, and ultimately form an opinion based on these steps.
