Temperament in pop culture: Gomez and Morticia Addams

Gomez and Morticia, the eccentric parents of the Addams Family, are a classic opposites attract couple.

Sanguine or airy Gomez is friendly and outgoing, like a typical sanguine. He is very amorous, always kissing Morticia’s hand and doting over her.

The opposite temperament of sanguine is melancholic, or earth. Gomez’ match, Morticia, is typical for the melancholic. Tall and willowy, reserved and sedate, she has a melancholic look.
