    public void Go()
    {
        lock (locker)
        {
            Thread.Sleep(1000);
            Console.WriteLine("go in {0}", Name);
            Other.Go();
        }
    }
}

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Character a = new Character("A");
        Character b = new Character("B");
        a.Other = b;
        b.Other = a;

        new Thread(a.Go).Start();
        b.Go();

        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}
