Killing Kings in Canada: The Role of Community in William Dempsey Valgardson´s
Original language description
Canadian short story writer, William Dempsey Valgardson, may not belong among the best-known authors, but his short stories are highly regarded as valuable contributions to the canon of Canadian literature. This paper focuses on Valgardson´s flagship short story, "Bloodflowers," and demonstrates the author´s usage of the universal mythological patterns of human sacrifice via carefully chosen imagery and symbolism. The basis for critical analysis of the mythological pattern will be James George Frazer´sThe Golden Bough, which serves as a source of information on a variety of human sacrifice patterns that can be found in Valgardson´s story. The result of the analysis should be a demonstration of how such a general myth resurfaces in the Canadian environment, confirming Carl Gustav Jung´s theory of collective unconscious, which is based on the belief that almost all cultures share the same primordial images on which their mythologies are based.
