DESCRIPTION
Please join me as I ramble about my two favorite holiday stories: (after a brief prelude on Dickens' A Christmas Carol) the 1993 film Groundhog Day, and James Joyce's 1914 (long) short story, "The Dead."
Themes:
Narcissism
Purgatory
Epiphany
The Symbolism of Cold and Snow
The Art of Happiness
The Community of the Living and the Dead
