Question 1:

Personality: Pete is a timid, bitter person who hides his emotions in his nonexpressive personality; Barton, although timid also, he expresses emotion directly into his work in wich he makes the theater for the "common man". Bothe characters have a change of personality to the end, but Pete´s is more dramatic.

Body:The body is at first sight very variable, but when one observes enough, one realizes that the major differences are the hairdo and the physical formation.

Body Language: The clearest representation is Barton´s discussion with Charlie about the common man, full with (even violent) expressions. While Pete just expresses himself in times of reconciliation or plead (the execution part).

Elocution: It isn´t so radical due to the fact that Baron speaks for the "common man" and Pete is just a plain ol´ country man.

Question 2:
The differnet author perspective portrayed in the film are those that were lived in the romanticism. Barton is the author of the film, but not the creator of the idea. Ideas are just transmitted by others. In the example of Audrey and her lover. And even in a film producing companny the author is faded, by a director, producer, and all the other transmittters.
In conlusion, our society lives by carryieng on ideas, no mattering who created them.

Question 3:
It is evident that idealism in literature doesný exist. But yet, authors blind themselves, inspirate themselves, and work for an ideal reader. In Barton Fink´s case: "the common man".
Through it he obtains an inspiration with out redefining a "common man", he just says " a man like you and me".
An ideal author is that evoked by Barton´s producer, 20 idela authors to give the Barton Fink feeling, 20 authors he idealized like he did with Barton at the first part of the movie.
But according to the piece of work done, it differs, an ideal author for a film is a dramatic and exagerated one, and for novel, a descriptive one, who mixes drama without exagerating to much, or doing so to make a fantasy: a thriller perhaps.
