- Description
- Posits a "Children's Cluster" of tales in CT (including all of fragments 6 and 7) wherein a "child has a central place" in each tale. Then argues that Virginia's voice and the tensions and "digressions" in PhyT encourage an ethical interpretation of her death as a murder, not a sacrifice. Designed for pedagogical use, includes several questions for discussion.
