B angles
The resistance in attachment constitutes the second form of selfishness: "it is called tenacity or stubbornness according to its reasonableness or unreasonableness". (Moretti, 1972, p. 72)
Tenacity, psychologically speaking, is the tendency of sentiment to conserve its own ideas, its own judgements armed with protection so that they can win:
"it is sentiment that places itself as an obstacle to surrender". (Moretti, 1972, p. 81)
"Tenacity is that force which resists all attacks by attaching itself inseparably to that thing from which they want to separate it". (T, 80)
Moretti compares it to a fist, in that
the stubborn person needs to make its object angular all over, because the attackers have to clash against the angles and give up the fight." (Moretti, 1972, p. 81).
The angle formed by this contraction cannot be one, but more than one and these angles appear in circular movements.
In particular, Moretti sees the effect of tenacity and stubbornness more noticeably in the letter 'o'. This sign takes the name of B Angles.
