“…They traced archetypal patterns and plots in women's literature including in and through the quest narrative. Annis Pratt et al (1982) explore the theme of rebirth in literature related to younger women and to older women. Pratt identifies two stages in a woman's life in particular when some women reject social norms with the aim of self-development: adolescence and mid/later life.…”

“…Pratt identifies two stages in a woman's life in particular when some women reject social norms with the aim of self-development: adolescence and mid/later life. At both stages, women make use of feminine archetypes, however fragmentary and intuitively, and Pratt et al (1982) note: 'For the woman past her "prime," as for the young heroine not yet approaching hers, visions of authenticity come more easily than to women in the midst of their social experience ' (p. 11). Indeed, Pratt traces the experience of 'rebirth' from a space configured by the patriarchy into one outside it, a transformation in which lost and repressed elements and values of the psyche are restored and a sense of balance achieved.…”

It is during the comic middle phase of confusion and loss of identity that Robin meets Danilo Adzic, an Eros figure whom we might regard, following Annis Pratt (1981), as a "green-world lover." In her feminist adaptation of Frye's comic theory to the archetypal patterns in women's fiction, Pratt has shown that the "green-world lover" is "closely associated with the naturalistic epiphany, a vision of the green world that calls up from the feminine unconscious the image of an ideal lover and almost always includes a rejection of social expectations concerning engagement and marriage " (1981, 22-3).…”
