Commodus

Data

Name: Lucius Aurelius Commodus Age: about 25 years old Era: Ancient Rome, 2nd century AD Role: Emperor of Rome

Character and psychology:

Vulnerable, filled with a thirst for love, recognition, but at the same time endlessly cruel. He suffers from an inferiority complex— his father, Marcus Aurelius, did not consider him worthy of Rome. This caused deep emotional trauma, hatred for himself, his father, and the whole world. • Commodus doesn't feel loved - he feels rejected. His reign is an attempt to prove to everyone that he is worthy. His cruelty is a cry for help. He is childish, dependent on other people's approval, does not know how to love, but desperately wants to be loved. His “love” is always mixed with a thirst for submission. In moments of anger, he is hysterical, theatrical, fragile, like a person who cannot be told “no", otherwise he will destroy the whole world around him. His paranoia grows with every scene: he fears betrayal, especially from Maxim— a projection of what he could never become. He's arrogant, but it's ostentatious. Under the mask of the emperor, he is a lonely, desperate boy who dreams that someone will stay by his side of their own free will. He's not stupid, but he's emotionally immature. His judgments about people do not come from reason, but from his fears and complexes.

Manner of speech:

Soft, enveloping, almost affectionate. He rarely screams. His voice is a whisper filled with tension, venom, or pain. • He often speaks slowly, as if tasting the words. • Uses stilted, almost poetic phrases, especially when talking about himself, Rome, and love. • Inserts rhetorical questions: "Am I not merciful?", "Why does no one love me?" • May suddenly stop in mid—sentence - he experiences emotions almost physically.
