NP311 The Red Square in Fairy Tales
The classic Fairy
Tale concerns a Prince, a Princess, and a Kingdom to be won. An
analysis of these stories provides a wealth of archetypal information
about the Red Square in a straight-foward format, and introduces
variations that are often found in more complex works.
NP312 The Yellow Square in Women's Literature
A great deal of writing for and by women, particularly in the nineteenth century, revolves around the plight of an orphan or mother seeking home, security and family. From innocent childhood tales, like Anne of Green Gables, to Toni Morrison's chilling Beloved, NP312 examines the Yellow Square as portrayed by women.
NP313 The Green Square in Film Noire
Film Noir is essentially a collection of Green Square stories that were produced for film in the '40s and '50s. Common themes include a greedy, no-good Jezebel who drags the hero astray, a secret from the past, moral cowardice, and a hidden crime that begs to be avenged. NP313 studies the genre to draw conclusions about variations and themes in Green Square stories.
NP314 The Blue Square in Wagner and Tolkien
The two great Ring cycles explore the two possible ends to the epic manifestation of the Blue Square plot: eucatastrophe and gotterdamerung. NP314 studies these complicated plots, not only uncovering insights in to Blue Square, but also into some of the more advanced plotting techniques required in penning epic fiction.
NP315 The White Square in the Mystery Genre
The classic mystery story concerns a Judge or Crone unraveling a string of clues that leads to a Cripple, an Accuser or a Witch. Since the success of a mystery depends on red herrings and extraneous characters borrowing from neighbouring squares is often necessary. NP315 examines how mystery writers use archetypal trickery to distract their readers from the obvious forgone conclusions.
NP320 The New Poetics in Homer
Homer was writing before it had all been done. His work is rich in raw archetyal imagery and themes. NP320 examines how the Red Square plays out in one of it's earliest incarnations.
NP330 Introduction to the New Poetics in Shakespeare
Shakespeare is the rock on which all literary theories flounder. In NP330 we learn how Shakespeare seems to break all the rules and still produces works of genius.
