Project Summary: Write a 1000 word essay discussing the role of Carl Jung’s “shadow” and its role in “The Lottery” and “Good Country People.” How do the characters in each story succumb to their “shadow”? How and why is that important to us today? Is this still a concern for people in modern society? Additionally, do you see any elements of the “shadow” in “Very Old Man With Enormous Wings”? There are certainly very religious themes abound in the story. Do any of the elements in the story speak to the “shadow”? Be sure to include your thoughts on the other “layers” of the self. The animal/animus, the ego, and the persona. Focus, particularly, on the persona. How important is that layer in our society? How much of a role does it play in our interaction with people? 1000 word minimum MLA Format Due no later than Midnight
