After analyzing the basics of the factors that could have possibly altered Enzo Ferrari's life, why his name is so greatly known today became more obvious. While staring with almost nothing except for an old tractor, he turned his ideas into some of the greatest the world has ever seen. Being fiercely competitive, Ferrari was bothered by the success of the automobile manufacturer Lamborghini. He had a dream of surpassing his competitor. However, having the financial means of a poor peasant wasn't a helping factor. Using his natural skills for mechanics, Ferrari started a tractor repairing business in his town. As time slowly progressed, with his profits, he built the first Ferrari racecar.
The time that took place between Ferrari winning his first Le'Mans racing series in France, and repairing tractors for a living took place over a long period of time. His persistence and endurance during that time show some very important character traits. Of all, most the most important is determination. Linked together, determination and persistence led to what Ferrari is today. Most importantly however, was what took place after his great success. Ferrari continued to build each automobile with the same dedication and passion as his first. That is proof of how strong his morals were, because instead of getting comfortable while he was at the top of his career, Ferrari kept on persisting towards greater advancements. His id was to become a well-known racing competitor and designer. His ego gave him the intelligence and proper abilities to do so. However, most important of all, Ferrari's superego did not exist. He never asked himself the question "What if I'm not good enough?" because he was determined to be. The life instincts of Ferrari were beyond normal. Instead of just succeeding, he wanted to live forever.
Keeping in mind his humble beginnings, that dream might have seemed impossible to reach, however, only if negatively influenced by the environment. In other words, his environment had almost no effect on him. The blind rage of desperation that Ferrari possessed was extremely abnormal, not only because not many possess it, because some do, but because not many do so in such immense amounts. That rage eliminated an important part of Freudian Criticism, which is the death instinct. Ferrari did not have one. His determination and fierce competition led to sleepless nights of designing and testing automobiles. Failure wasn't an option.
In conclusion, Enzo Ferrari is one of the most interesting static characters that I have ever examined. Being static however, was not a bad trait. While being focused on one issue only and not concentrating on anything else, his determination led Ferrari, from a mere farmer, to become one of the world's most recognizable names. In his case, being flat and static made his dreams come true. In his own way, Ferrari was one of the most round and dynamic characters of his time. That idea leads to a more complicated topic. What is the purpose behind being dynamic? Maybe being a static character could be a very important trait. Those types such as the static characters are determined to go far and succeed. They are seriously focused on one topic only and by doing so, determined to excel. However, a dynamic character may be considering so many possible options that at one point may become confused and not realize what they expect out of life. That could lead them into a junkyard of mediocrity, while the static characters such as Ferrari may become very well established into the garage from heaven. Here is just a thought: what are the benefits of being a dynamic character?
