chapter 28

Three great myths have come to be well known in our society today. They all have some type of single-minded pursuit of something. Faust is in pursuit of knowledge, Don Juan is in pursuit of women and Don Quixote is in pursuit of chivalric ideal. Robinson Crusoe was a main myth and his story was about the dignity of labor and getting back to nature. Being stranded on an island and relying on yourself to live and profit. These myths give heroes that people recognize and present themes found in our modern world.
