The Making Of Things Other Than The Self: Revelation And Creation In Descent Into Hell, Randy L. Dejaynes

Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature

A Jungian analysis of the development of three characters in Descent Into Hell. The motif of creation is applied to the self and “the possibility of creating one’s Self by means of applied revelation.” Wentworth and Adela fail because they “do not create the Self, but rather allow the Self to be created by their unconscious projections.”

Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature
