These class sessions will focus on Freud, Jung, Marie-Louise Von Franz and the theories of inner psychological necessity in folk tales. Finally we come to probably the most popular theories of folk material--Freud was a leader in this--and we see Freudian/Jungian interpretations of everything from Snow White to Elephant Jokes. The psychological interpretation posits the patterns of folk tales as a part of our subconscious understanding of the drama of life as it is lived in the interior of each one of us. Undoubtedly, we will have talked about the interior nature, the almost supernatural affinity we have for tales, all the way along. preview (optional) Another Cinderella Story--yes?
