Uriah Heep


Uriah Heep (painting by Frank Reynolds)

Reverence can be confused with fawning or even the kind of humility associated with a Uriah Heep. A person's irreverence may be in protest against their own tendency to unctuousness.  Many personality traits are compromise formations that are compensatory in nature. Shrews may not need taming. Of course that's also a hope. You want to believe that a belligerent individual is just acting defensively since underneath it all, they’re afraid of being totality engulfed by a stronger personality. Alas, depth psychology!
