Jan. 13th, 2011 09:34 amIn Monsters class. Dissecting Harry Potter as myth. First criterion: "Myth is a complex network of narratives."
Doc: Is Harry Potter a complex network of narratives?
Student: No.
Student 2: Yes!
Doc: I'd argue yes. First we have the primary sources, the books. Then we have--
Student 3: The movies.
Student 4: The rides.
Student 5: Fanfiction.
And now we're talking about the monster origins of Dementors and Thestrals and House Elves.
I love my school. I needed this to cheer me up this morning.
