Answer: Method acting proposes the embrace of the character and its circumstances. In that way, acting comes not from memory (script) but from what it is experienced while exposing themselves to key circumstances. Those are curated as they seem fit and often it symbolizes a sacrifice of their way of life. Like living like someone else during long periods or exposing themselves to hard jobs or limiting their bodies (sometimes even harming themselves) to act through the real condition their character live with. That sacrifice is considered virtuous as a sign of profound dedication to their craft.
