Fellow Cowrds,
Suck that scream in now.
Take that organ out of your mouth.
Listen to the silence.
The silent cry of Woman.
Pratt, Annis (1981) Archetypal Patterns in Women's Fiction, with Bararbara
White, Adrea Lowenstein and Mary Wyer. Bloomington, Indiana.:Indiana
University Press
Annis Pratt uses Jungian categories while differentiating female plots in
fiction from male ones. She follows the female hero and discovers that her
quest differs from that of the archetypal male hero. Instead of venturing
out into the world, she journeys with the self, finding restoration in the
green world of nature. A male companion helps her but he is neither the
object of her search nor her reward for accomplishing it.
The Power of the word is Man's power. He named creation. To avoid
confrontation with his better half he took possession of it all, all that he
named, before Eve was created.

Hillman says that polytheism is preferable to monotheism, and that the many
dimensions of reality can never be transcended, nor the resultant conflicts
resolved.
Thank you S~Z, you are apt as apt can be.
But don't throw that Young Carl out of the Sailor's Grave.
The a cross-cultural archetypal Psychic collection in myth and legend, the
dramatization of the hopes and fears and desires of human psychological
"development, " the 'animus' and 'anima' brought into a wholeness, the
presiding Great Mother Goddess of Life and Death, the Mother of beasts and
of cities, and so on, are all quite useful for the Psychoanalytic Literary
Critic of Thomas Pynchon's fiction.
