Do myth exist today? After reading the first three chapters of The Power of Myth and remembering a class that I took several years ago, I think they still exist or should I say that we are all part of some future mythology. It will require a careful eye or a creative ear to point them out because of the direction our society has went with the machine. My understanding is that a myth is a type of speech. Speech of this kind has a message to share but by no means is it confined to oral speech, it’s a way of communicating. The language of a myth needs special conditions in order to become a myth. This may present a challenge in the future. The message may come across in modes of writing or of representation,
