Paper Summary:

This paper analyzes the novel "Ceremony" by Leslie Marmon Silko with the thesis that mythology is the core of the novel. The paper discusses the universality of myths as the central theme.

From the Paper:

"Mythology is an integral part of the protagonist Tayo's journey in "Ceremony." Although it is the Laguna people and their stories that form the backbone of the novel, the myths that Leslie Marmon Silko uses are archetypes found not only in Native American mythology but in Judeo-Christian tradition as well as other cultures. The universality of these myths is the central theme to "Ceremony," that by accepting these myths and his role within them, Tayo is able to find fulfillment."
