The Mythogin Lens
Mythogin analyzes the values, principles, and worldviews embedded in stories. These, in turn, influence our beliefs and actions. We give readers tools to form their own conclusions about the significance of these stories, as we examine storytelling on three levels:
- Narrative Critique: analyzing plot, characters, and techniques that determine whether a story is compelling or memorable.
- Cultural Impact: examining how stories influence, and are influenced by, their socioeconomic context.
- Structural Fix: exploring how stories could be improved or strengthened.
We strive to make every discussion available in written format, as well as audio format to stream or download.
