Today, we continued with the presentations. Several topics were brought up today including bad parenting in mythology and beginnings, middles, and ends in The Magus. One major theme of the presentations was the free will versus life is determined by fate debate. In Fowles' novel, Nick is like a pawn in Conchis's chess game. He thinks he's making his own decisions when in reality Conchis is always leading him in a certain direction.
On another note, I did my own presentation on the archetypes in The Magus. I thought it went rather well, and I feel confident in regards to my thesis. Hopefully, my ultimate fate on this assignment is a positive one.
