John Barrymore
motivation

Although he is intensely emotional and fervent in his loves and hates (as described on the previous page), he is often cool, detached, objective and dispassionate. His emotions are difficult to arouse, but once aroused, he is intensely emotional and feels love, hate or jealousy with his heart and soul. Moreover, his innate idealism (discussed below) may prevent John Barrymore from acting as temperamentally as he might feel.

John has strong views and can be zealous in defending his ideas.

He is a freedom-loving, strong-willed and independent-minded individual, and he insists upon living his own life as he sees fit, even if it means ignoring convention and tradition. In personal relationships, John Barrymore cannot be owned or possessed, and while he is willing to share himself with another, he does not always adjust easily to the emotional give and take of close relationships. Though intellectually open, Barrymore can be enormously stubborn, opinionated and inflexible on a one-to-one level. John has strong convictions and feelings about fairness and equality, and he tries to abide by them; however, his ideals about how people "should" treat one another do not always take into account human weaknesses, differences and needs. John Barrymore probably dislikes sentimentality and traditional gender roles and "games".

He is fair, intelligent, objective and rational and he often let his head rule rather than his heart. John Barrymore seems rather self-sufficient and emotionally detached because he is capable of putting aside his personal feelings and viewing things dispassionately. But once John makes up his mind on an issue, it is difficult to dissuade him, and he can be rather dogmatic.

Although John Barrymore prefers harmony and accord, he also has a confrontational side.
