Consider the ideas on the structures and limitations of the human mind as theorized by Plato, Freud, and Jung. All have implications regarding how we make sense of the events in our lives and how we tell and respond to stories that help us do that.
Choose a story in the form of a film, TV series, book, fairy tale, or electronic game and analyze it from the perspective of the ideas of Plato (Socrates), Freud or Jung.
For example, you might examine a story like the worlds created in the Matrix or Truman Show movies as variations on The Allegory of the Cave.
To apply the ideas of Freud, you might examine films which are about psychoanalysis, similar to Inception. Films that portray characters who are operating on a level of reality that is clearly dreamlike or in various stages of psychological development include Black Swan and pretty much everything directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Also consider where you see a conflict between the conscious and unconscious minds of characters.
Jungian archetypes have been identified in stories such as Star Wars in which characters and events suggest mythical patterns, including the “hero’s journey.” Such symbols and patterns often appear in the worlds created in video games as well.
