"God has tortured Theo plenty. If suffering makes one noble, then he is a prince." - Boris Read the book a little more than a year ago now and since then, I've had some trouble narrowing down what his Enneagram type might be. I thought he might be SP9, but after some thought... he is such a SP4. While it is the consensus, it lacks a proper explanation, so here I am. I was reading an analysis on Boris' character when I came across these lines on the difference between how Boris and Theo cope with their traumas. Here is that excerpt: "Boris shares many of the same traumas as Theo, and has lived an even more unstable life, dealing with a physically abusive and neglectful father and frequent moves across the globe. Unlike Theo, however, who is enslaved by such traumas until adulthood, Boris understands this sentiment even as a youth. Him and Theo represent antithetical ways in which to deal with trauma: Theo, who refuses to move on and lets it consume him, and Boris, who lives in the moment, moment-to-moment, never surrendering love and optimism. He embodies the very philosophy that takes Theo years to understand." This got me thinking... maybe Theo is a core 4. The type 4 is characterized by an internalization, or introjection, of suffering and makes their suffering a key part of their character. The SP4 in particular laments in silence, preferring to endure rather than "mope" for attention like the SO4. When we compare Theo to Boris, a core 7, his E4-ness becomes more evident, as the core E7 chooses to minimize, or tries to forget, its sorrows preferring to live in a constant state of okayness, similar to Boris, whereas the core E4 chooses to focus only on its suffering, wallow in sadness, and integrate it into its identity, like Theo here. Even Boris remarks on this introjection of suffering in Theo, saying, "But you—wrapped up in judgment, always regretting the past, cursing yourself, blaming yourself, asking 'what if?' 'What if?' 'Life is cruel.' 'I wish I had died instead'." This mindset that Theo has is wholely attached to the past and to suffering, which he refuses to let go of. You might be thinking: "Well, Jules, of course he'd be constantly thinking about his past considering he survived a terrorist attack in which his mother died. That's some pretty heavy trauma." Well, yeah, but Theo isn't just depressed or traumatized from what happened—rather, he completely internalizes it all and does not let it go to the point of neurosis. As Boris says, Theo is always regretting, blaming, self-hating, rather than living and continuing on. His suffering is completely attached to him. He won't let himself let go, preferring to suffer and live in gloom. Boris is traumatized to a similar extent, but the method of coping is different: in which Theo utilizes the E4 strategies of introjection, self-hate and blame, and addiction to melancholy, while Boris utilizes the opposite - the E7 strategy - of distraction via fun and humor, as well as a disconnection from pain and negative feeling. "I can just see it. This mist of sadness, sort of, around your head. It's like you're a soldier or something, a person from history, walking on a battlefield maybe with all these deep feelings." Here is another example from the book of this lingering of suffering that makes up Theo's character. He does not let himself let go of his pain; it's a part of him. That's how he differs from Boris who neglects to think of pain (which in itself is not healthy though), and prefers to live in the moment. Another analysis I read on The Goldfinch put it perfectly: "Boris is perhaps the very opposite of Theo. Whereas Theo is all gloom and nihilism, Boris is life. Theo worries. Boris doesn't." Theo sees the world around him as blue. He is melancholic to the core. As Envidia puts it, "[The] E4 conservation starts from a poor self-concept or self-esteem that has the belief that the binomial effort gaze gives it meaning, validity, the right to belong and, in the extreme, deserves its own existence," meaning that the SP4 believes its suffering creates its existence, that to be seen as one in sorrow gives it meaning, just as Theo has made his pain his vision of the entire world, the entirety of his being: everything is sad, lonely, and blue.
