Is "Till We Have Faces" a Faërie Tale?

In "On Fairy Stories," Tolkien suggests that the mark of a true fairy story is the inclusion of  eucatastrophe, i.e. a happy ending, a part where everything comes together for the better, no matter how many dragons must be slain before all is said and done. That is to say that the eucatastrophic tale is the highest form of fairy story, as Tragedy is the highest form of Drama. For Tolkien, the eucatastrophe is also the part where the reader glimpses a thread of truth in the fairy story, and experiences a moment of joy upon recognizing that the triumph of good in the tale reflects something real, lovely, and magical in the real world

I would argue that Till We Have Faces' ending is indeed a form of eucatastrophe, though not quite in the hero-gets-the-girl sense. It fulfills this criterium in two ways:

Firstly, it is revealed that Psyche, lovely, selfless Psyche, ultimately receives justice: despite harrowing tasks, she is reunited with her god/lover and instated as a goddess herself, a position of which she is obviously worthy and deserving. Thus, the original sin which transpired in the dycatastrophic climax is put to right.

Secondly, and perhaps of equal or greater importance, in the final pages we see Orual come to terms with her own vices. Though she is never reconciled with Psyche (which would have been the more obvious "fairy-tale ending"), and much of her life ended in forlornness, the fact that Orual soberly faced her faults before the countenance of the gods is something soberingly eucatastrophic in and of itself. In this moment we recognize something true about ourselves and our world: the "godness" of God, and our own unworthiness of the favor we receive. In finally looking into a metaphorical mirror and removing the log from her own eye, Orual was reacquainted with a terrible but calm reality: herself as the wrongdoer, the villain of the story. This is the moment which powerfully marks Till We Have Faces as a Faërie tale.

Heidegger (I Guess)

In "The Origin of the Work of Art," Martin Heidegger characterizes the essence of art as work which contributes to the unconcealment ( aletheia ) of reality, i.e. the literal (or perhaps literary, given his emphasis on poetry) construction of truth. This philosophy/ontology seems quite compatible with Lewis's bit in "Myth Became Fact," wherein he describes myth as reality. Heidegger describes unconcealing as the existential project of the Dasein, i.e. the human being, and artistic manifestation of the aesthetic impulse is a prime way of doing this: realizing and bringing-forth qualities of Being, facilitating the dialectical relationship between world and earth. Poetry is a privileged art form for Heidegger, given the profound intertwining of language with the human condition (the Dasein ). "Language is the house of the truth of Being," says Heidegger. Thus, Lewis's proclamation that myth, i.e. narrative, i.e. a particular manifestation of poetic a...

The Liberal Arts Experience

When I was applying for colleges, I was for more concerned about getting accepted to any  school rather than any particular kind of college. So when it fell to a choice between CNU and Radford after my other 5 choices rejected me outright, it was an easy choice. But that choice was really between two liberal arts institutions. I always thought of those liberal arts classes as some sort of natural phenomena. Most people don't question why the sun has the appearance of rising every day, it's just a part of their lives. Something they accept and live with. So it was also with the fulfillment of my liberal learning classes. I didn't choose them any more than I chose to go to CNU. And with an attitude like that, I can't help but wonder if I was putting in enough effort to get any qualitative experiences out of them. An old English teacher of mine once said that we'll become real scholars when we start taking charge of our own education, and that idea has sort of stuck wi...

Inklings About Inklings

It seems quite strange to be reading a more autobiographical work about Lewis after spending all this last semester studying his fiction. Being empirically minded it feels like I've done things in reverse - perhaps I should have known the man before I came to know his myth. A poet might say they're one and the same, and perhaps so, but understanding the man can make the myth deeper. Of course, having thought about that concept for one moment longer, it can probably go both ways. I just recalled a band, as well as a series of t.v. shows that were made worse for me by having a greater understanding of the people behind them. So it may be just as well. Regardless, I was interested to learn that Lewis had an early fascination with Norse fiction, and was an avid reader his whole life. Many of his professors would go on to remark that they had never met a man more well-read in the classics. Also I found it quite interesting that after getting a degree in Philosophy, he could not find...
