The Passion Of Perpetua by Marie-Louise von Franz
A Jungian analysis of the third-century martyr's prison visions, this book reads her dreams and symbolic imagery as manifestations of the individual and collective unconscious, exploring how her courage, inner conflicts, and eventual surrender reflect processes of psychological transformation and individuation; it situates her revelations within mythic and archetypal patterns, interprets the Christian motifs and brutal historical context as psychic realities, and argues that her visionary experiences illuminate universal human struggles with fear, identity, and the integration of shadow elements into a conscious spiritual stance.
