We will be working with the devices: Historical Context and Archetypes today
1. Review the definition of Historical Context. Open the following assignment. You will use your notes from the introductory reading of Mesopotamia. (Again, this is why we start with notes on the reading). We are looking at the historical aspects of Mesopotamia and starting to make the connections to the evolution of the Gilgamesh text.
2. Now, in your notes, prepare the following questions:
- How do archetypes influence my understanding of a text? (what is a text, again?)
- Where have I seen examples of these archetypes in my world beyond a literary text?
Examples. Lots!
3. FINALLY, In your notes, you will be collecting examples of Archetypes in Gilgamesh. Collect of list of the different types of archetypes that you see.
In your notes, reflect upon the final question:
How does the study of archetypes tie into my previous question about history, religion, art, culture, etc?
