Merle Oberon
approach to life and appearances

The following is a description of Merle's basic stance toward life, the way others see her, the way Merle Oberon comes across, the face she shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Merle Oberon - her real motivation, which describes the kind of person she is at heart and where her true priorities lie. Study this page and the next one and compare them - there may be significant differences between the two, in which case "the inner Merle Oberon" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Merle a little better. This page describes the disguise Oberon wears, her role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.

Forward-looking and progressive, she is a person who supports change, innovation, and human advancement, and Merle Oberon is often strongly committed to a humanitarian cause or social improvement. She is extremely aware of the interrelations between all people, and is always projecting personal issues unto a greater whole. Oberon sees the political or social ramifications of personal actions, and she wishes to contribute something of value to the world, or at least to her community or group.

The ideals of equality, fairness, human rights, brotherhood, and social justice color Merle's whole outlook and approach to life. She is truly interested in the good of the whole and not only her own personal well-being.

Sometimes she may overlook or ignore her own and others' personal needs, desires, and feelings, especially if they do not conform to her ideals of how one should feel or act. Though she has little patience for conservative narrow-mindedness, Merle Oberon herself is sometimes dogmatic about her beliefs and ideologies.

She is attracted to the avant-garde, the latest advances in human thought and development, and she is eclectic and cosmopolitan in her tastes. She may consider herself a "global citizen" rather than claiming a narrow, limited identification based on nationality, race, familial heritage, etc. Merle Oberon is strongly influenced by her peer group and the flavor of the times in which she grew up, more so than by parental or family influences. She is involved and active in groups, community efforts, as well as cultural and progressive movements.

On a personal level, Merle Oberon is friendly and expresses a kind of impersonal good will towards others. Oberon probably has many acquaintances but few really close friends, and much of Oberon's relationships with others are based on a sharing of common ideals and principles, rather than on emotional ties. Others see Merle Oberon as a good friend and a comrade who is objective, fair and rather detached emotionally. Merle does not often show her emotions, and may be unsure about how to respond to others' emotional expression, for she tends to be very rational.

Merle Oberon is also very independent and refuses to be possessed by any individual. Merle Oberon is not comfortable with traditional sexual roles and is inclined to have "liberated" views about marriage, relationships, sharing of child rearing responsibilities, etc. Merle Oberon needs to have a life outside of the personal, domestic sphere and to be involved with people on a broader scale. The nurturing of family ties, and close, deep, personal relationships may take a back seat to Oberon's work or outside social activities.

There is a receptive, elusive quality to Merle's personality. Oberon can be difficult to pin down, difficult to know, something of a mystery. At times Merle Oberon may feel frustrated because she feels that she is not being perceived very clearly, that she does not make a powerful impression, that she is easily overlooked or discounted. If she does not wish to be "invisible", Oberon must make some effort to define and clarify - both for herself and for the rest of the world - who Merle Oberon is. On the other hand, Merle Oberon may purposely create illusions about herself with the intent to deceive - or entertain - others.

Merle Oberon tends to lead a very harmonious life and live in peaceful surroundings. Her emotions seem to play a big part in her relationships with others and Oberon bases her relationships on inner understanding between people.
