Online: begins Tuesday, October 4th, 2011, 7.00-8.30 pm (Five weeks)
Each week we will analyze one tale.
You need to prepare for each class by reading that week's tale. Read it the week before to give yourself plenty of time to reflect upon it. Before you go to sleep, ask yourself the question: 'what does that image mean?' Reading the material the day of the class won't work: symbolic thought is slow and you need to give your imagination time.
