Fryeian State of Mind

I am still working my way through Frye's Words with Power. I have been trying to read this book for over a week and am 10 pages in. I do not know about everyone else but I really like this book. It is dense, hard to read, and incredibly insightful. Mr. Frye would be an amazing person to meet because of how intelligent of a person he must be. When reading his work, I am constantly forced to look up new words or to look up references that he makes to other pieces of great literature. So I challenged myself to try and think like Frye for one reading of the section I am currently working on. I was reading page 150 when trying to see if I could think in a Fryeian State of Mind. I found that I could somewhat think like him but after clmpleting this challenge and looking back at my notes, I felt that I was often stretching between what I was reading and what I was relating the readings to. In particular, I was considering, the cyclical process of all myth. The heroes' journey, the way that the same stories are often repeated, and the way that most stories never seem to have a complete ending (authors seems to leave a tiny loophole in every story in case they want to add to it at a later time). Frye often comments on the cyclical aspect of ladders, myths, and stories. Why are circles and cyclical aspects so important to mythology? I believe that they are important because they allow a person to always be able to find a new moral, a new ending, or a new purpose to the stories in myth. If myths were not cyclical, we would  not be able to adapt them as time goes on so that they relate to the people reading the stories. If we were not able to adapt the story of Joseph, we would not still be telling it to our children in Sunday school thus it has to have a cyclical structure  or else the story would have died eons ago.
It was discussed in class on Thursday that the Bible does not have a cyclical structure but the individual stories within the Bible have cyclical structures. I am forced to disagree and agree with this comment with some stipulations. I agree that all stories within the Bible have a cyclical structure. I disagree in the aspect that the Bible is not cyclical in the sense of foreshadowing how the Isralites will continue to exist. It is not a normal cyclical myth but parts of the Bible just seem to be on repeat, like being slaves in Egypt, but that when it does end it will not start over again. So the image that I get from the Bible is that it is a sprial. It just goes round and round but that it will eventually end. Once Revelation does happen and the world ends, it will all be over for humans but until that unlucky day happens we are on a repetitive spiral of the rest of the Bible.
I do not know if this blog will make sense to anyone else as it hardly makes sense to me but maybe that is the point. When doing my Frye imitation, I realized that to make some things make sense, we have to stretch their meaning to something that we already understand. I understand what a cyclical object and a spiral looks like, so it makes sense to relate somehting I do not understand, such as the Bible, to these objects. This is not a perfect system but Frye quotes Bertrand Russell saying "Every philosopher, in addition to the formal system which he offers to the world, has another, much simpler, of which he may be quite unaware. If he is aware of it, he probably realizes that it won't quite do". The above theory is my simple thoery wich I know is imperfect and probably makes no sense to anyone besides me. However, I hope it helps others to realize their own imperfect theories of hte bible.
