Chapters 18-21
I learned that if someone is immersed in water three times, it has something to do with a baptism. Also nothing is literature is ever as simple as it seems. There is always a deeper meaning to it. A fight is never just a fight. A baptism can mean deatth, rebirth, and a new identity. But, that doesn't mean it's all it can mean. Geography is like the hills, creeks, rivers. Geography can help you understand a story more, it isn't just a large mountain thrown in the story. When a character is sent south, it is probably because they are going to go crazy. Seasons, up, down, they all mean things. Winter is more sad, while spring is happy and full of life. Where something takes place, does matter, so it wouldn't be a waste to think about it. Pure originality isn't possible, there is usually something that has been said before. Every story is retelling another. A character's marks or imperfections can also tell you more about their character. Oedipus' scarred feet showed he was the infant with the curse that he would kill his father and marry his mother.
