Winchesters
the bull - negative space
Negative: Consisting in or characterized by the absence rather than the presence of distinguishing features. A word or statement that expresses denial, disagreement, or refusal. The absence of. Negative space: the space around and between the subject of an image. This part of the image is often neglected and left empty. The Winchesters are surrounded by negative space: shadows, the opposite of positive, the absence of light and familiar objects, the absence of color, the refusal of normalcy.

Sam
- stable
Sam's life is the opposite of stable. His blood - his history - literally makes him unstable. Azazel, his family, Ruby; he has been shaped by outside forces into an inherently instable person, and yet everything he does is for the sake of stability. Not necessarily in his own life, but in the lives of those around him. It's almost self-punishment for bringing instability and chaos into Jess's life. Sam has been resolved since then not to seek happiness or comfort for himself, but to pursue the qualities in himself that, while they alter his mind, also provide him with the power to "fix" the instabilities in the rest of the world.

Dean
- beastial
"Can lack in social graces and sometimes indicate coarseness and a poor appreciation for 'niceties' and polite manners. They can also be a little inarticulate, caring more about making their point, than the elegance of the style in which it is made." Dean is Sam's opposite. While he may desire stability in some forms, outwardly he refuses it. He's a wounded animal. He's agressive, he's coarse, and because he has had Sam by his side for so long to deal with the personal connection aspect of the job, he doesn't have to think about it. He very rarely has to be anything but the beast, and he's happy that way.
-
John
- fixed
John Winchester, in a word, is fixed. "The element in its most intense form." He is reactionary, and the most intense form of vengeance. John is insistence on revenge no matter the cost. Stability, for him, is dangerous. Social grace is pointless. His goal is all that matters, even if it is a goal with no tangible consequence; closure, a feeling of completion is all that keeps him going, and he is able to move on only when his goal has been reached. His fixation is destructive, and he holds a fixed and destructive position in his sons' lives.
-
Mary
- fertility
Mary's escape from her fixed role as hunter and hunter's daughter is John, and through John, Sam and Dean. Mary has children with the goal of bringing into their lives the stability that hers has been missing, but inadvertently bargains away Sam's stability in exchange for John's. She meets her adult sons and watches them not only fight, but one of them die at the beginning of her pregnancy. Mary is a twisted image of fertility: she is the strongest mother figure in the show, she is revered and propped up by John, Dean, and Sam. She is the catalyst of the events of the entire show, and her relationship to the other characters costs her her life.
