Frye and others are attracted to Jung's theories not only because of the richness of imagery and narrative elements (what Jung and his collaborator Carl Kerényi came to call "mythologems") but because these theories, like those of Cassirer and Lévi-Strauss, command for myth a central cultural position, unassailable by reductive intellectual methods or procedures. By entitling the third essay of Anatomy of Criticism "Archetypal Criticism: Theory of Myths," Frye suggests a conceptual means of drawing individual and apparently unrelated archetypal images--the fundaments of psyche and culture--into a coherent and ultimately hierarchical framework of "mythoi," one organizing not only individual literary works but the entire system of literary works, that is, literature. Thus, for example, works in the "realistic," or representational, mode (the ill-fated "modern" novel Lévi-Strauss speaks of) stand (nonpejoratively) at the opposite end of the spectrum from those in the "mythical mode," which, because they are about characters having the greatest possible powers and who act "near or at the conceivable limits of desire" (136), are the "most abstract and conventionalized" (134). The abstract and conventional qualities Frye attributes to the mythic mode in literature are ultimately reflective of the irreducible and inescapable place of myth itself; so conceived, Western literature, massively funded by the powerful myths of the Bible and classical culture, might be thought of as having a "grammar" or coherent structural principles basic to any critical organization or account of historical development. That Frye ultimately identifies the "quest-myth" in its various forms as the central myth (mono-myth) of literature and the source of literary genres is at once the logical conclusion of his approach to myth criticism and the source of ongoing debate.
