AB - In this essay, I would like to conceptualize the so called ‘Woody Persona’ in three aspects. First, as a comic character like schlemiel, ‘Woody Persona’ has inefficient power to change the world. But unlike schlemiel, his intellect makes it incapable to create illusion which is favorable to himself or his hope. Rather, his intellect sees reality more pessimistically and so becomes an origin of his joke. Second, ‘Woody Persona’ has competitive relation with his homosexual, middle class intellectual colleagues, but to a few women, instead, he passes down his knowledge, ethics, philosophy etc. as a teacher. Third, Woody Persona dedicates himself to find his authenticity in his individualistic world and his failure reveals the problems or the absurdity of the so called ‘Finding Authenticity Project.’ Since Match Point, however, ‘Woody Persona’ becomes more and more marginalized and Woody Allen film begins to present world of snobs more directly.
