Abstract

A Jungian analysis of the development of three characters in Descent Into Hell. The motif of creation is applied to the self and “the possibility of creating one’s Self by means of applied revelation.” Wentworth and Adela fail because they “do not create the Self, but rather allow the Self to be created by their unconscious projections.”
