about my digital essay

I chose Herge’s ‘The adventure of TINTIN: The blue lotus’ for my essay.

My structural analysis
Act 1 … from the beginning to TINTIN’s decision that he is going to Blue Lotus and visits there (pp.1-19)
Act 3 … from his decision that he goes back to Shanghai with Chang (pp.42-49) to the ending
Act 2 … the rest part

The catalysis and The First Turning Point … TINTIN’s arrival the house of Wang Chan-yee and the first meeting with him (pp.16-19)
The Second Turning point … from TINTIN’s decision that he is going to Hukow to his decision that he is going back to Shanghai with Chang (pp.41-49)
The climax …. the event of last night that TINTIN confront Mitsuhirato to the salvation the problems (pp. 55-59)
The resolution … the last page of story.

My analysis of the seven archetypes

The herald … the stranger when TINTIN is staying at India as the guest of the Maharaja of Gaipajma.
The shapeshifter … Didi
The shadow … in a narrow sense, Mitsuhiroshi in a broad sense, Gibbons and Dawson may be included in the classification
