Ring Composition in Harry Potter
On this episode of Mythic Existence, host Jack Daly talks about ring composition and chiasm in Harry Potter. This is a literary technique in which a story leads to a mid point and then is reversed. By determining this key function of the books, we’ll discover how Harry Potter serves as a form of literary alchemy that allows us to transcend pairs of opposites, and have a mystical experience as we search for the divine spark inside the eye of our hearts by living vicariously through Harry.
