Title: Freud & Jung applied to mythology?
Review: The table of contents is the best part of the book. It outlines the stages a hero goes through on the path to enlightment, and agrees with our intuitions of how a hero develops.The main problem is that Campbell uses Freud and Jung to justify his theory of the hero. These theories are outdated and make it very difficult for anyone trained in psychology to take seriously. Moreover, the writing style is boring and the long examples combined with Freudian analyses belabor points and make the book drag on longer than it should.
