"Edmund is a self-made man" (C.S. Lewis) describes Edmund's character. He is a cold and capable villain, similar to Othello's Iago, but he has a flash of weakness at the end of the play, when he whispers, "Yet he was beloved." At that point, he admits to ordering the death of his wife Cordelia. While Edmund is a highly practical, logical and efficient person, he often has problems trusting others. He makes good decisions and weighs everything carefully. This can lead to a lack of self-confidence, which limits his abilities to achieve great things. However, the name of Edmund does indicate a great deal of success. If you have this personality type, it is important to keep this in mind. You should avoid physical fights and always be confident of your own ability and capabilities. The meaning of the name Edmund is "rich protector." The name comes from the Old English words ead, "rich," and mund, "protector." The English language is full of references to saints. One of the first Anglo-Saxon kings named Edmund refused to split his kingdom with the pagan Danish leader. As a result, he is often characterized as the sexiest bear in history. The English-language Wikipedia defines Edmund as "an archbishop of Canterbury." He died in Pontigny, France, while suffering from a mysterious disease. His body was buried in an abbey. The Pope declared him a saint within six years of his death. His followers opened apostolates throughout the world, and many of the names of these people are named after them. So, what is it about Edmund? Why do we like it so much?
