Animated by a suggestion of ^BadNumber^ from lostzilla.net here we go again with… Lost.

This time I have analyzed all the dialogues of the five seasons, but thanks to the scripts hosted in lostpedia.wikia.com we can know the words each character said… exactly.

So here are the results. The first image is a versus between Jack and Locke. Each face has the words correspondig to the character.

In the last image each character has his own words. The bigger the more times they used it. The distance to the character is mostly random. We choose nine of them… look at it and you will know why.

As a curiosity take a look to number of times each character talk, the number of words spoken and the average words per intervention.

jack (3254 int / 28951 words / 8.89 avg)
locke (2339 int / 22670 words / 9.69 avg)
hurley (1761 int / 17244 words / 9.79 avg)
kate (2272 int / 17327 words / 7.62 avg)
sawyer (2387 int / 24165 words / 10.12 avg)
sayid (1505 int / 14754 words/ 9.80 avg)
ben (1009 int / 13064 words / 12.4 avg)
juliet (924 int / 8661 words / 9.37 avg)
desmond (868 int / 8413 words / 9.69 avg)

I want to thank ^BadNumber^ and cesarfuenla for their assistance with ideas and suggestions. Thank you guys… hope you like it.

Once again we will work with Millenium trilogy, the Stieg Larsson Bestsellers.

This time I covered  the three books searching relationships between some of the main characters and the words around it.

Word size represents the numbre of times the word appears. The distance to the name represents the average distance of all instances of the each word.

Just a quick post about John Maeda and his book ‘ Laws of Simplicity” wich I recommend reading.

The image contains the most used words in this book.

And, of course, thanks John because you began processing….

We are Lost again. Now we will look at the Characters evolution and their relationship.

I took all the english subtitles of the five seasons and I counted all the words but in a new and different way, by taking care of word position.

The right part of the image shows the number of times the word appears through episodes. You can see how some characters just disappear or gain prominence in time.

In the left part of the image, every character has the words that are close to his name in the subtitles. The bigger, the more times the word appears. The distance to the character is proportional to the distance between words. Characters are colored in order to ease location. The character position is random.

You can draw some conclusions.

Probably the most interesting book ever… The Holy Bible.

This time I want to know if there is deep differences between New and Old Testaments. So I counted words from these documents independently and put the results together each one in a side of the image. The left hand represents the words from the New Testament. The right hand the Old Testament ones.

Because the Old testament is bigger than the New Testament I used a correction factor so the words can be compared in size between both documents.

As base image I used a part of a well know Michelangelo painting…

One more thing. There is a lot of free versions of the Bible. I just pick one of them in english and another in spanish (double work of course). There must be huge differences between all the different versions of the Bible. Even between the differents idioms. For example the word ‘Lord’ in english correspond to ‘Jehovah’ in the spanish version… I don’t know why…

And remember, it is just a exercise… the results may be inexactly or totally wrong at all..

Old Testament: lord 7279, god 3340, son 3044, said 2941, king 2759, upon 2502, israel 2501, day 2124, house 1943, people 1910, man 1829, land 1709, hand 1681, children 1662, saying 1628, came 1590, shalt 1510, come 1432, one 1431, go 1342…

New Testament: god 1392, said 1061, jesus 984, man 908, saying 904, things 848, lord 734, come 657, one 615, also 599, christ 573, came 506, day 485, son 454, father 428, now 407, men 396, therefore 356, know 348, went 338…
