At the end of September, we have taken a look at the monster as a basic plot device: the existence of great evil is revealed to us (and to the hero), and the hero sets off to vanquish it.
Following that trope, we take a look at circular vs. linear patterns and at the different kinds of “Dark Figures”, since we’re in the middle of the Spooky Season, and let’s see what happens when we step out of the metaphor and we don’t have a literal Big Bad Wolf, a literal Witch or a literal Troll to spell it out for us.
