Marilyn Monroe syndrome defines those people everyone wants, but no one cares about knowing in depth. These are the profiles that loneliness suffers, as is Norma Jean hem. This woman, in her eternal role as “naive blonde”, actually had a deep, reflective and demanding inner side with herself that few people knew.
We don’t want to talk about the end of the diva of the film world; we’ve written a lot about it. Recent books such as “Marilyn Monroe: A Case for Murder”, by journalists Richard Buskin and Jay Margoli, already give us a clue on the subject. What interests us on this occasion is the psychological profile that characterized Marilyn he or she he and whose essence has shaped a syndrome that bears her name.
“Life, I am both senses and, in a way, always suspended. “- Poem by Marilyn Monroe-
In the book “Marilyn’s Syndrome,” Dr. Elizabeth Macavoy explains that before she died, Marilyn had already died of emptiness and loneliness, as well as the glamour, spotlights and happy birthday Mr. President, who brazenly dedicated to John F. , there was a woman who had been shattered a long time ago, someone who understood that happiness was what everyone expected to see in Hollywood movies, but in reality (their reality), all that existed were selfishness and lying.
Marilyn Monroe syndrome is very common today, it appears in these people, actors, singers and profiles that have some social success and often eclipse others for their charm, beauty or competence in any activity.
Everyone wants them, everyone wants and wants to be close to them, be a part of it, but in reality most of the time they are just instruments, dolls and dolls that others get at will to scale socially and improve their image by being close to that?that everyone admires. Also he?No object ?, at first you are not aware of your situation, because being the center of attention of all universes is almost addictive, comforting and very pleasant, especially when you have a very fragile and minimal self-esteem.
Thus, in Marilyn’s case, all this vortex was very cathartic after a traumatic childhood and a hasty adolescence that led to very early marriages, but gradually realized something. To survive in this scenario of cameras, producers and filmmakers, she had to create the role of an extremely naive, carefree and always radiant woman, it was the image that everyone wanted, the one who sold the tickets and fell in love with everyone.
Norma Jean built her role perfectly, but no one awarded her an Oscar for masterfully playing this role called Marilyn Monroe. Few knew that she was forced to continually lower her intellectual level to survive Hollywood and make her wit the key to success; be very careful to have a childish and seductive tone of voice, shaping a woman who hardly resembles her?
The danger of creating a role to gain admiration and always be the center of attention and permanent desire is that someone’s identity will eventually disappear. Arthur Miller, Marilyn’s last husband, said it was like “Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. “Miller was perhaps one of the few people who met this other side of Norma Jean, the taciturn, lonely and thoughtful woman who loved to write poems.
Did he say he had an instinct for poetry? And that she had been a skilled woman to get to where she was, yet, and according to Arthur Miller himself, she was not cynical, she did not have her feet on the ground. Marilyn really needed good self-esteem.
“I’m as strong as a web in the wind, covered in cold, bright jellies. “- Poems by Marilyn Monroe-
However, it must be said that it was not a good time, testosterone and machismo reigned in the world of cinema, while Marilyn he hem tried to set up her own production company (Marilyn Monroe Productions), this audacity was severely criticized and seen as a challenge. for the film industry. Then, abandoned, she returned to her role as a naive woman.
Marilyn Monroe syndrome tells us that playing a role in survival and being loved by others is a high price, we may not see it today because we can be dazzled and delighted with all these positive reinforcements that feed our self-esteem. to nurture our self-esteem, what we do is poison it.
Social approval and success don’t always bring happiness, and most of the time they leave us empty, which breaks us slowly and irreversibly.
