Almost every little girl dreams of having that older brother to protect them and when she has that, she treasures it. However, what most girls do not consider, is how contradictory two personalities can be. My brother has been by my side for as long as I can remember, and despite our sibling connection, there are times when our relationship is strained and tension can be felt even when we are on opposite sides of the house. As we grow older, we become more established in our own dispositions and temperaments, in turn leading to increased conflict. In reviewing Nietzsche’s concept of Apollonian and Dionysian personalities, greater insight can be obtained accounting for our ever increasing antagonism toward one another. (Altshuler and Janaro 19).
Nietzsche proposes two distinct personality profiles to provide a greater understanding of how human beings are motivated to react to different situations. The first personality profile he presents he terms Apollonian; someone defined by this profile is “dominated by reason and disciplined analytical, rational, and coherent thought” (Altshuler and Janaro 19). A person in this category, in my own view, is likely characterized as someone requiring order in their life, for instance, maintaining a clean room and making sure that everything has a place. The second
personality is Dionysian, this profile Nietzche describes as a “personality dominated by feelings, intuition, and freedom from limits: the side that responds emotionally to music as well as to the force and fury of tragedy” (Altshuler and Janaro 19). I envision this individual as perhaps more lazy yet with an elevated capacity for emotional connections . With each personality demonstrating its own benefits and pitfalls, Nietzsche proposes that it is best to find a balance between these two personalities, a compromise that is generally easier to achieve in theory than in practice. (Altshuler and Janaro 19).
