We recently
looked at several other theories of myth interpretation, one of which
was Malinowski's Charter Theory [use either class notes or Powell or
Leonard & McClure for his theory, but don't forget to cite].
In your essay, first succinctly state what the theory is, then apply it
to the Greek myth of Heracles (as given in Powell) and then to the
Disney
myth of Hercules (as in the movie Hercules).
In
your
conclusion
discuss one of the significant similarities and one of the significant
differences. For the
movie, either use your memory or the
script (click
here).
Based on character (as opposed
to particular heroic deeds), which of
these 4 Greek heroes--Oedipus, Heracles, Theseus, Jason--is most like
Disney's Hercules and which least like? Restrict your information on
these heroes to the material given in Powell. For the movie, either use your memory or the
script (click
here).
Argue whether the view of the
male/female relationship as evidenced in Disney's movie Hercules is changed all that much
from the Greek view as evidenced in the readings for this section in
Powell (if you did paper 4, exclude Ovid and Catullus from your source
material). For the movie, either use your memory or the
script (click
