Northrop Frye, "The Archetypes of Literature": Reading and Commentary (Part Three)
DESCRIPTION
The third and final section elaborates the "deductive" method of myth criticism, and gets into the details of the fourfold cycle of the myth of the hero, which Frye believes underlies all of literature. Some references to Frazer and Jung, and discussion of Blade Runner/Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep as a case study.
