Joseph Campbell Recall the hero’s quest pattern which includes: –Departure (call to adventure, crossing threshold) –Adventures, tests, trials –Fulfillment along the way –Return to home –Individual’s consciousness is transformed

This quest pattern is also known as a “monomyth” = one story Joseph Campbell expressed this idea in his book The Hero with a Thousand Faces

1. The Title: I am Born Again Suggests a pattern: very basic version of the quest theme

Fetus: Dunny’s pre-battle life: Section 1 Birth canal: the battle: Section 2 Newborn: Post battle Sections 3-8

PRESENTATION 4 :THE QUEST THEME PRESENTATION 5: WAR STORIES AND SOLDIERS’ EXPERIENCES

2. Pre-battle Boredom (loss of personality): “I was a lonely creature” (64) “my boredom was to blame… that comes of being cut off from everything that could make life sweet” (64)

Dunny’s Roles: Deacon (Holy Joe) because he read the New Testament People see only one side of Dunny (67) Charlie (68-69)

Two realities: The enemy: the Germans--they see only each other’s persona: “absolute devils” (65) “we were decency incarnate” (65)—even though Dunny recognizes his own soldiers as “a foul-mouted, thieving, whoring lot of toughs” (65)

Story: (67) New Testament and the Arabian Nights – both psychologically true which is as important as literal truth

Dunny says, “Later I was able to say that… psychological truth was really as important in its own way as historical verification” (68) What is psychological truth?

3. The Battle (69-74) Dunny makes clear that he is not a hero

In the battle he sees the Madonna with the face of Mrs. Dempster Another miracle? Psychological stress?

PRESENTATION: NURSING IN WWI PRESENTATION: ROMANCE DURING THE WAR.

4. Post Battle Dunny loses one mother: he can never again be anyone’s “own dear laddie any longer” (78) He gains another “mother”: Diana (80,85) Another anima? Diana teaches him to walk, talk, renames him (90)

St. Dunstan: solemn, good at resisting temptation and full of learning, faced the devil “St. Dunstan was a marvellous person and very much like you— mad about learning, terribly stiff and stern and scowly, and an absolute wizard at withstanding temptation” (90)

Two Realities: Who cured Dunny? (75-76) He hears the Madonna's voice Did he cure himself? Did Diana’s nursing cure him? Rest?

What is a hero? (83-84) Who was Dunny’s mother (anima)? (104)

Roles Dunny as hero People need heroes, and it might as well be Dunny He is an icon of heroism just as the king is an icon of kingship

Presentation: (Canadian Forces Honours and Awards).

Roles: Dunny as hero Celebration in Deptford: people see only one side of the Germans People need icons of heroism The staged “handing over of Leola”: Dunny plays the mythological role of Mars, the god of war – the winner in the field of battle, but the loser in the court of Venus (the goddess of love)

Mars, God of War Venus, Goddess of Love
