Blog Entry 8: My Critical Approach

I will be using Pearson's Heroic Archetypes to help me understand Kino, the main character. I will also be using Freud to describe some of the symbolizing used in the book and Kino's Monomyth on his quest to a perfect life and to find him again after being lost in the world of lust, danger  and on the way of finding riches. I am thinking that Kinos goes thru a few archetypes as the book continues, he goes from a humble hard working loving father and husband (JUNG ARCHETYPES, THE FATHER FIGURE) to a selfish man full of  greed, conflict, and violence, who puts his family in situations to satisfy his own ego, he becomes a (Ego Maniac, Collective Unconscious) (Innocent and destroyer) he finds himself not knowing who he is, he tries to find his way back to become who he was before but fails due to his ego,  to have the perfect life.



-FREUD (SYMBOLISM)
-CAMPBELL (MONO-MYTH)
-JUNG (ARCHETYPES)-THE FATHER FIGURE
 -PEARSON (HEROIC 12 ARCHETYPES)- INNOCENT
