Harry’s experiences demonstrate his heroic traits: the infant exile and reaction to the call foradventures at the departure stage, a road of trials at the initiation stage, and freedom to live at the return stage, allcontributing to his self-transcendence.

This can be seen throughout Greek mythology, for example, The Moirae and The Musai, and of eourse, through the Christian Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. While the archetype of the trinity appears numerous times throughout the Potter series, at its very heart, the series is centrally focused on a triad of trinities： the Trio （Harry, Ron, and Hermione）, the three Unforgivable Curses, and the three Deathly Hallows. It is the intersection of this triad of trinities--this ＂supertrinity＂--that not only drive the Potter narrative, but connect the work so readily to the psyche of readers and fans; it is how we are harmonically programmed, in terms of understanding stories.展开更多

This thesis studies the cultural prototype of the Chinese elements,and makes a detailed comparison of these elements.展开更多
