"one had to go back several steps, and start again; and know the place for the first time." (Fowles 650)
To say that we are ending this chapter in our education seems almost unfair to the whole theme of the class. Mythologies never end and instead weave back unto themselves and rather than acting as a tree with many branches that reach out and have distinct and final ends, I would argue that the stories are more appropriately traced with a bush where the branches invoke confusion as to where one stops and the other ends and where they appear to double over and under and circle around to a branch seemingly far away but touched for even just a moment. Moments mean everything in myth and a moment can change a lifetime.
