Mythological criticism is a combination of anthropology, psychology, history, and comparative religion. Introduced by Carl Jung, Mythological criticism explores how the imagination uses myths, symbols to different cultures and epochs. The central concept in mythological criticism is to analyze symbols and characters to find deeper meaning. This type of criticism views literature as a gateway to reveal human desires, fears, and expectations; critics in this field uses the text to interpret how different cultures and humans in general view themselves and their place in the world. <ref> Persad, Krishen [https://prezi.com/di-rhq7ujy8i/mythological-criticism/ Mythological Criticism]Accessed July 8, 2014</ref><br /> | Mythological criticism is a combination of anthropology, psychology, history, and comparative religion.

There are works available that provide forms of Mythological Criticism, which was introduced by [[C.G. Jung]], that will give the reader a good starting point for understanding this type of literature. ''The Masks of God: Primitive Mythology'' by [[Joseph Campbell]] gives the reader a good insight into this area of literary criticism. Mark Schorer, who wrote ''William Blake: The Politics of Vision'', provides another option for studying Mythological criticism. <ref>Rutgers [http://comminfo.rutgers.edu/~mjoseph/c-guerin.html "Mythological and Archetypal Approaches"] Accessed July 10, 2014</ref><br /> | |||
