Dear Jackson, without knowing them, without reading about them, you always have an image of stock charachters in your mind because they are always described like that in the stories or novels or films. For example, stepmother, fat cook, handsome and strong hero, the strong silent sheriff, the brilliant detective of eccentric habits, the primary school teacher with big glasses and pony-tailed hair
