i need a critical commentary about a paragraph of a book considering the entire chapter below
(C. G. Jung, ‘Concerning Rebirth’, in Collected Works, volume 9i, para. 244)
Write a 1,000-word (± 10%) commentary on the following passage. Your
commentary should explain what the passage is claiming and in particular what we
can learn from it about Jung’s psychological model and his view of myth (both his
general theory of myth and his specific interpretation of the myth or myth motif
referred to in the passage). Your commentary should also critically discuss the
logical, empirical, rhetorical, and other stylistic dimensions of Jung’s argumentation
to the extent that you find them in the passage. In support of your commentary you
may refer to other parts of the essay from which the passage has been taken, to other
works by Jung, and to what you know of the context in which the passage was written
and published. However, the main focus of your commentary should be a close
analysis of the actual passage. You may structure the commentary in whatever way
you think appropriate for addressing the above points.
the passage is :
‘This story [of Moses and Khidr] is an amplification and elucidation of the
legend of the seven sleepers and the problem of rebirth. Moses is the man who seeks,
the man on the “quest.” On this pilgrimage he is accompanied by his “shadow,” the
“servant” or “lower” man (pneumatikos and sarkikos in two individuals). Joshua is
the son of Nun, which is a name for “fish,” [footnote 9: ‘Vollers, “Chidher,” Archiv
für Religionswissenschaft, XII, p. 241. All quotations from the commentaries are
extracted from this article.’], suggesting that Joshua had his origin in the depth of the
waters, in the darkness of the shadow-world. The critical place is reached “where the
two seas meet,” which is interpreted as the isthmus of Suez, where the Western and
the Eastern seas come close together. In other words, it is that “place of the middle”
which we have already met in the symbolic preamble, but whose significance was not
recognised at first by the man and his shadow. They had “forgotten their fish,” the
humble source of nourishment. The fish refers to Nun, the father of the shadow, of
the carnal man, who comes from the dark world of the Creator. For the fish came
alive again and leapt out of the basket in order to find its way back to its homeland,
the sea. In other words, the animal ancestor and creator of life separates himself from
the conscious man, an event which amounts to loss of the instinctive psyche. This
process is a symptom of dissociation well known in the psychopathology of the
neuroses; it is always connected with one-sidedness of the conscious attitude. In view
of the fact, however, that neurotic phenomena are nothing but exaggerations of
normal processes, it is not to be wondered at that very similar phenomena can also be
found within the scope of the normal. It is a question of the well-known “loss of
soul” among primitives, as described above in the section on diminution of the
personality; in scientific language, an abaissement du niveau mental.’
