lament of a scatter-brained english major

I spend so much time analyzing characters in novels, picking them apart: the words that they utter, the words they think, the words surrounding them, creating them.  Their actions: what they mean, why they occur, how they affect surrounding characters and why. 

I wish I could become a character in a book, my sum and substance becoming the words on the page, no more and no less.  Then someone could write a paper on me and I'd understand myself better.
