Description
Enemy, Cripple, Beggar Shadows in the Hero's Path offers a thought-provoking exploration of literary good and evil, and the complex relationship between society's norms and individual psychology. Erel Shalit's work provides a unique blend of literary analysis and psychological insight, making it a valuable resource for both personal reading and community library collections.
This book delves into the symbolism of myths and fairy tales, including Perseus and Andersen's 'The Cripple', to shed new light on the concepts of Hero and Shadow. Dr. Shalit also examines the psychological significance of Biblical stories, such as Amalek and Samson, and the symbolic relationship between Jesus and Judas Iscariot, providing a fresh perspective on the hero-function's need for a shadow.
With its impressive breadth of scholarship and analysis, Enemy, Cripple, Beggar Shadows in the Hero's Path is an engaging and thought-provoking read for those interested in Analytical Psychology, the interface between psychology and mythology, and the psychology of religion.
