Abstract
In this essay I will analyze her famous short story, And the Soul Shall Dance, later adapted for theater and television. In this analysis, I will employ the framework and language of myth and the depth psychology of Carl G. Jung, one of the founders of modern psychology and psychoanalysis. According to critic Joseph Russo, psychology is one of the disciplines that has most systematically offered us both theories and methodologies for making sense of the elaborate symbol systems that individuals and societies employ for their visions of what is vital in life. Here, I will attempt to demonstrate how the archetypal theory of Jungian psychology, supported with analysis derived from mythology and religion, can illuminate a significant aspect of Yamauchi's fine short story.
