Michael Redgrave approach to life and appearances
The following is a description of Michael's basic stance toward life, the way others see him, the way Michael Redgrave comes across, the face he shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Michael Redgrave - his real motivation, which describes the kind of person he is at heart and where his 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 Michael Redgrave" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Michael a little better. This page describes the disguise Redgrave wears, his role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.
Michael Redgrave appears gentle and soft, and he acts rather reserved with others until he knows them well and feels it is safe to be open with them. Michael has a strong need for emotional security and a sense of belonging, and is deeply attached to the past: his heritage, roots, family, cherished friends, familiar places, etc. Making radical changes or moves away from what is familiar and safe can be very painful and difficult for him. Redgrave tends to cling to people, memories and possessions of personal or sentimental significance. Having a home, a safe haven, is very important to Redgrave.
Redgrave approaches life emotionally and subjectively and he is sensitive to the emotional atmosphere, the subtle undercurrents of feeling in and around him. Instinctive and non-rational, Michael Redgrave is often unable to give a clear, simple explanation for his actions. Something either feels right, or it does not.
His emotions and personal loyalties tend to color Michael's thoughts and opinions. He views life from a very personal perspective and often cannot mentally detach himself from his own personal bias and prejudices. He is apt to be concerned primarily with how something affects him and those dear and close to him, rather than with the principle or the broader social implications. For instance, he may be very patriotic and feel that whatever "my country" does is right without really knowing much about the other nation's policies or point of view. Simply put: if it is good for Michael and his near and dear ones, then it is good. If it is not good for him and his near and dear ones, it is no good.
He is tenaciously loyal, protective, and supportive of those he cares about, and has a very strong nurturing, paternal nature. Michael Redgrave empathizes with others and intuitively senses the feelings and needs of other people.

Michael never forgets either kindness or unkindness shown to him.
