I saw this years ago. What strikes me is even though the author tries, it seems to me it has many stereotypes in it. Probably due to the year it was published (1941). So back then it probably got its point across fine.


Is it anything but stereotypes?


Stereotypes isn't the right word. Archetypes perhaps.


What I find most interesting is how few of those stereotypes/archetypes are present in our media today.

I still know many of most of them, but they've been replaced as our economy and demographics change.


Mr. C. reminds me rather a lot of a current candidate for vice president.


I had the exact same thought; it was actually a bit unnerving how well it described him.
