Interpretation Analysis of Creation MythsDirectionsPart 1Interpret at least ONE of the above assigned myth. Interpretation of a myth requires examination of the myth from various levels and perspectives. In addition to seeing the myth's themes through the analogy of the myth onion, you must also do a close reading of the myth followed by a close (symbol by symbol) interpretation of it. Then you must connect the meanings you have derived to a larger question and to its significance in its culture of origin. Here is a process you can follow in order to do an effective interpretation: Do a close reading of the mythAnnotate the myth even as you read, noting the elements (the symbols, the juxtapositions, the events, etc.)Understand what is the larger purpose of the myth (for example, is the myth about a sociological function; is the myth paradigmatic for behaviors; is the myth about the relationship between man and divine? NOTE: Most myths address all these levels, but most myths will also have one function or purpose that over-arches)One you have understood the larger purpose, examine its various elements from that perspective. For example, examine what symbols it uses and why? What paradigmatic behaviors do its characters portray and why? Etc.NOTE: you must necessarily see these elements in relation to the myth's respective culture and explore how and why the elements of the myth are significant to that society and to the people of that society.To develop your responses, also consider:The materials you read for the Myth interpretation quizThe Introduction to each myth in your textbookThe symbology of the mythsThe relationship of the myths to the mythology of creations, as discussed in Chapter 2 (Creation Myths) of your textbookThe layers of the myth onionThe sample interpretation of Ganga (Module 5)Consider the following tips and suggestions to focus your interpretation:In the Norse myth of creation, consider the opposites that are juxtaposed and examine why this is so.
