Foxed's Crazy Theory Emporium

<< < (2/7) > >>

Yuillegan:
I certainly think you have some excellent points there. Jim has some qualifications to do with creative writing and English literature I believe. I certainly like the idea of the road of trials. It helps explain the very Harry-centric, minimized supporting cast for the last few books. I personally would love to see the old crowd get some proper screen time in the next book. I think you left out Ghost Story, which I felt was a big old cluebat of a book. The entire book for me was laying out the groundwork of stuff that Harry will have to deal with later on, may or may not involve Mirror Mirror. I think though, that the last bit of the casefiles will end differently to what you've outlined. Jim may still use the Hero's Journey template, but I think that if you have a "big apocalyptic trilogy" coming, the series will build, not resolve. I think the last couple of books are more likely to build towards a major event that will set the stage for the trilogy. Just my two cents.

Also, would love to hear your theory on Jotunheim being Arctis Tor, though I personally think Jotunheim is more than a fortress, which is all Arctis Tor is. Jotunheim is an entire mountainous realm of winter and fjords. Any theories on Muspelheim? I do wonder if Harry might discover something in a realm of fire and darkness, which in some interpretations recently has been a substitute for Chaos.

Anyone remember or have a link to the post analysing the DF novel by novel as following the pattern of Tarot cards ? That seems an interesting comparison to this.

Didn't Jim dismiss that one as coincidence?

I don't recall seeing that, but could easily have missed it.

I think that if Harry returns from Winter in the BAT, regardless of what else has been built towards, we have a pretty solid framework for his character arc. That's the key with the Hero's Journey-- it's a character arc, not necessarily a plot arc.

Ah. Then for you, I mean all of Winter. I've also posted the theory above in its entirety.

Outside.

Not sure if this is a compliment or not.
