Taran: An Individuated Hero For The Collective Unconscious, Edward Tucker Raetz
Taran: An Individuated Hero For The Collective Unconscious, Edward Tucker Raetz
Theses Digitization Project
This study analyzes Lloyd Alexander's The Prydain Chronicles through a Jungian lens. Previous scholarship on Alexander's works has briefly considered archetypal criticism, but not extensively. Bruno Bettelheim's thoughts are used intermittently throughout the thesis. This study concentrates on Taran's individuation process, the discovery of true selfhood, and his consequent development of a whole psyche.
