What does "brooding, elemental" mean? Context:
Mao was grudging about leaning on Zhou. After all, Zhou's instincts were not his own. If the brooding, elemental Mao was a combination of tiger and monkey, Zhou was a man who had extended the mandarin tradition, which Mao hated, into the Communist era.

Teacher Re: What does "brooding, elemental" mean? Context is always important; labelling is rarely important.
