Polly Bergen
motivation

The way Polly Bergen comes across to others is very congruent with her true nature so "what she sees is what you get". The description below reinforces what you read about Polly in the previous chapter.

Polly has powerful emotional attachments to the past, her family, her childhood, places she associates with safety and security, and her beginnings. It is very important to Bergen to maintain a connection with her roots and heritage and keep family bonds strong. Loyal, devoted, and sentimental, Bergen tends to cling to whatever is dear to her - be it a person, a familiar place, or a cherished possession.

She is sympathetic, nurturing, supportive and very sensitive to the emotional needs of other people. Polly likes to be needed and to care for others, and she often worries about the people she loves. Polly Bergen has a very strong need for a sense of belonging and acceptance, and much of her life centers on her home. She is more concerned about people and their feelings than with power, achievement, or position in society. Kindness, consideration and tenderness are more meaningful to Polly Bergen than any sort of honor the world can bestow.

She is primarily emotional and her views are often dominated by her feelings and her own personal, subjective experiences, rather than reason, logic or abstract principles. It is difficult for her to judge situations fairly and objectively because her personal sympathies and loyalties usually factor in. Polly Bergen takes things very personally and sometimes builds a wall around herself to shield herself from pain and rejection. Polly Bergen feels rather shy and vulnerable at heart. She also tends to be moody and experiences frequent mood swings. Polly Bergen needs to have a place and time in her life to withdraw, introspect, dream and replenish herself; otherwise Polly Bergen becomes cranky and unhappy with those around her.

Polly Bergen functions in an instinctive, irrational manner and likes to immerse herself in creative activities where she can express her feelings, imagination and instincts. Bergen often loves to cook, since it can be both creative and a way to nurture and nourish others. Polly Bergen also has a great affinity for music, because it evokes and communicates feelings that may be difficult or impossible to put into words.

Her compassion, sensitivity, and imagination are Bergen's strong points. Her faults include an inability to let go of the past and move forward, clannishness and prejudice, and a tendency for self-pity when facing hardship.

Polly Bergen has a clear sense of her own self and she therefore conveys a strong impression to others of who she is and what she wants. Assertive and self-motivated, Bergen can be a leader - one whom others look to for direction - but she competes and often clashes with other strong individuals. Polly Bergen feels a need to be in control of her own life and she can be too self-involved, too immersed in her own interests, and oblivious to others at times.

Polly Bergen tends to see things from her perspective only and to be rather subjective. She also enjoys talking and expressing her views but does not always listen as well. Polly Bergen has a clear mind, a love of learning and new experiences, and she needs constant mental stimulation and activity.

Inwardly she is zealous and fanatical, though she may hide her personal desires and intentions, as well as the intensity of her feelings. She is driven by a deep inner sense of destiny and mission and an almost compulsive desire for personal recognition. Polly is infatuated with power, incredibly willful and stubbornly fixated on achieving greatness or being someone Special. Polly Bergen tends to worship heroes who have powerful personal magnetism and charisma, and she often seeks to emulate them. Polly has potential for tremendous good or tremendous evil.
