Tonto:
This is an amalgam of many
of the other types. It is also a feature of
the personality type which is easy going and conciliatory.
Tonto, you may remember, was the Lone Rangers friend. Tonto protected the Lone Rangers back from
other danger in the form of other Indians and other white men. Tonto got all the worst jobs and the Lone Ranger
got the white horse and al the glory. Tonto
seldom got any words to say onscreen but yet it was clear that the two were partners and
the Lone Ranger would not have survived on his own. Tonto
is mostly content and rarely sees it as his/her job to challenge the way things work
either on behalf of deaf people or for the hearing. |
