This means that a change in the body, mind or-habits may be sought while one strives to maintain a sense of identity, he said. Boundaries for change were set by the creation of mythology, Brim said. The stories of Pinocchio, Frankenstein and the original myth of Pygmalion and Galletea set these boun daries, Brim said. “Frankenstein was- an inanimate robot brought to life 'by lightning while Pinocchio was a carved wooden toy brought magically to life by a fairy,” Brim said. He added that Galletea, a statue, was brought to life by gods at Pygmalion’s request. “Furthermore, another crucial boundary had been set up,” Brim said. .“We have come to think of it as the change of state versus change **************************>k I MOTHER'S DAT ! | SPECIAL i jjjT * t NO TELEGRAPH CHARGES ON ALL f * MOTHER’S DAY FTD ORDERS $ t PLACED BY MAY Ist * * WOODRINGS % Floral Gardens £ 145 S.

The change of state describes a sudden good fortune or a fall.from grace, Brim said. There is a question as to whether the change of state has yielded a • personality change, Brim said. “For instance, Cinderella, which may be the archetypical legend or a pure change of state, touches not at all on personality transformation,” he said. “A few great stories involve transformations of the three components of personality body, mind, and character but most do not,” Brim said. “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is an example of a total trans formation,” he said, “but most stories have the same form with a metamorphosis of character.” Brim said in the 20th Lazy J .
