Henry A. Murray: Personology Personology is the science of people. It is used to interpret and organize the lives of humans.

The same holds true for his theatrical presentation of Tennessee Williams short play "The Night of the Iguana." The main character of the play‚ Reverend Shannon‚ is known to be a teacher of the word but this is not portrayed in the play even close to as much as it is in Houston’s film.
