- Rory bites Conor near the Chicago River.

From what I know, the archetypes of rivers are often symbolic of life cycles, lakes/oceans are symbolic of the unconscious and uncertainty, mists are symbolic of what is sacred and mysterious, and fountains are symbolic of renewal.
This is just a few of the archetypes I that I thought about within the novel.
What do you all think of how E.R. Barr implemented archetypes throughout the novel? Did anyone else find any other archetypes that they would like to discuss (i.e. Nature vs. Modernity in regards to DIOGENE in Tinker's Grove)?
