| Mary - Character Development | |||||||||||||||
| Crazy Mary - Visionary | |||||||||||||||
| What if....rather than the repentant sinner, since there's no actual evidence of her being a whore, she's a visionary in her own right, a little off-balance, quirky, passionate - if she is the woman He cured of multiple demons - Crazy Mary - which brings her into the role of leading Gnostic visionary - hence her conversation with Jesus in Gospel of Mary about how to work with visions - "are they through the spirit or the soul?" - " no, through the mind which is between the two". This is one line of attack I will develop...or... | |||||||||||||||
| Strong Mary - Leader | |||||||||||||||
| She's Jesus' female equivalent - she is his favorite disciple - possibly even wrote the Gospel of John (found that somewhere on the web). Jesus shared his most intimate knowledge with her, the mystery that she later tries to share with the discip[les. But in the end it's her versus Peter and eventually he wins - he gets her sent off to convert the heathens abroad - while he contends with developing the "true church", which naturally reverts to male hierarchic structure of Judaism. | |||||||||||||||
| In the end she'll be a complex character, with a mixture of both - Leader and Visionary, perhaps too charismatic to tow the line or deal with the politics of the time and thus expelled from the developing church as being too passionate, too "pure"...? | |||||||||||||||
