Personality
The Geminus twins are both affectionate, doting upon those they love. They are very close brothers and never argue. Marcus adores Flavia and gives her the pet name "My little owl".Yet in 'The Twelve Tasks of Flavia Gemina' he changes and becomes very stern toward her and even shouts at her, which he never does. Flavia finds out it's because he has been criticized about letting her be too independent and he even arranges for her to be married to a senator's son in Rome.

Famous quotes containing the word personality:
“There are people who can write their memoirs with a reasonable amount of honesty, and there are people who simply cannot take themselves seriously enough. I think I might be the first to admit that the sort of reticence which prevents a man from exploiting his own personality is really an inverted sort of egotism.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“Unable to create a meaningful life for itself, the personality takes its own revenge: from the lower depths comes a regressive form of spontaneity: raw animality forms a counterpoise to the meaningless stimuli and the vicarious life to which the ordinary man is conditioned. Getting spiritual nourishment from this chaos of events, sensations, and devious interpretations is the equivalent of trying to pick through a garbage pile for food.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
