Talk:Wise old man

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Alakazam

C'mon, really? Alakazam is not a wise-old man. Professor Oak? Maybe. Alakazam? Heck no.

[edit] Wise old man/Senex

Senex is not the same thing as the wise old man archetype. Its similar but not the same.

It's neither the same nor not the same, but something in between. The wise old man both has an objective function and a subjective function. The subjective function is how he is perceived (the senex); the objective function is what he does. He is perceived as such because what he does has meaning to the person he is instructing.
