So many figures from history are represented as icons in popular cuture. They are rarely shown as the fascinating and enigmatic real humans they were during their lifetimes. The same is becoming increasingly true of important figures from our own times, whether they be politicians or celebrities. Handlers hide the real person from us just as biographies may ignore important aspects of a person's life and character. In this article, Jamie shows how questions and questioning can help students to peel away the iconic levels and the masks that conceal the real Benedict Arnold, the real Alfred Hitchcock and the real Margaret Thatcher.
