The loss of innocence is an archetype present in The Grave. All the quotes above represent Miranda's loss of innocence as she witnessed the death of a mother rabbit and her young ones, and as she had a flashback of the horrible memory. The experience took ignorance as well as innocence away from Miranda. It engrossed her in an emotion that she had never before encountered before.

I love the post-it look -- how'd you do that? It really captures the idea of annotating, but then mixes it with reflection and blogging -- I love it!
ReplyDeleteYour explanation of the archetypes and their connection to the text are excellent. Miranda's loss of innocence and ignorance can be related to each and every one of us. We have all been through, or will go through, an experience that completely changes the way we see the world; whether it be for the good or for the bad.
