In terms of the character itself, I can't really say that I find anything really difficult. I enjoy the character so much I don't perceive difficulty in trying to be him. It's just a matter of how do we get there.
It's the difficulty we had with Mr. Bean, actually, when it went from TV to film. You certainly discover that you need to explain more about a character.

Put To A Test
you put my love
on top
of this crucible
you put it
on fire
you blaze like
a fire in the forest.
i turn to red
porcelain
it is hot as hell
(as though
i was once there)
you form me
in the shape of
your love
i turn to fluid
and then after this
crucible test
i turn solid again.
there is not much change
inside, though
i feel stronger.
break me for i am yours.

The best opinion now is, that there are multitudinous forms which are not sufficiently differentiated to be distinctively either plant or animal, while, as respects ordinary plants and animals, the difficulty of laying down a definition has become far greater than ever before.
A major difficulty is that the answer to the Riddle of the Sphinx is partly a product of the answers that we already have given to the riddle in its various forms.

When Youre Near Me I Have Difficulty
When youre near me I have difficulty respirating
When youre near me I have difficulty concentrating
When youre near me I have difficulty standing upright
When youre near me I have difficulty sleeping at night
I used to stand proud like a sphinx
In a noble immovable state
Then your heart nailed me under a jinx
Now Im feeling like a jellyfish
Just a spineless wobbly jellyfish
And its great, great, so great
I used to stand high like a pine
Just a piece of emotionless wood
When you put your body near mine
Now Im feeling like a jellyfish
And its good, good, so good
I used to be an iceman
Living in iceman town
So Im warning all you cool cool icemen
Youd better be prepared to be melted right down
Down
When youre near me I have difficulty

Suspicion
So many times
Ive asked myself the question
Hiding in plain sight
Is your love another self-propeller perception
Burning in my mind
You dont know where Ive been
I count too many sins
To play de sad charade
Suspicion kisses you when I do
Though Ive never let you know
I only wish you knew what I knew
So we could both enjoy the show
Here in the crucible
Or could there be another explanation
Im not aware of
Or should I just ignore the situation
Call me in care of
I dont know where youve been
Your lies is paper thin
I see the truth erased
Suspicion kisses you when I do
Though Ive never let you know
I only wish you knew what I knew
So we could both enjoy the show
Here in the crucible
You dont know where Ive been
I count too many sins
To play de sad charade
Suspicion kisses you when I do
Though Ive never let you know
I only wish you knew what I knew
So we could both enjoy the show
Here in the crucible

Difficulty Of Reality
And
Difficulty is labour-pain
Out of the lustful stains
To deliver a babe
Difficult even more
The difficulty of the babe
Surrendered or abandoned
And
Much more difficult
The difficulty of the fosterer
Be a true revealer to the babe
Difficult the most
Living an untrue life
With untrue peace
The fostered babe

In Answer To Pirandello's Question
if the character steps inside my room
i will perhaps choose the
character
honestly, i still don't have it
i mean,
character, not that character of
your play

While I relish our warm months, winter forms our character and brings out our best.
I have discovered that we may be in some degree whatever character we choose. Besides, practice forms a man to anything.

Neither is there figurative and non-figurative art. All things appear to us in the shape of forms. Even in metaphysics ideas are expressed by forms, well then think how absurd it would be to think of painting without the imagery of forms. A figure, an object, a circle, are forms; they affect us more or less intensely.

Character
One should exert character,
For character exhibits your soul
And the soul has a murky appearance,
It decided to be mysterious
But not when you gain character.
The character is an infinity, a logic
For the soul to create, so it does.
My soul worked like yours,
Once it even behaved like a saint
Opening the life around, then virtues surround.
My character is to be a mathematical puzzle,
My character is grand, my grand puzzle.
I have been this achievement from that achievement.
