Im doing an English project on the Novel Fifth Business by Robertson Davies, and I must write an essay regarding the rebirth of one of the characters, Im thinking of writing about the character Dunstan Ramsay.
If anyone knows about his "rebirth" in this novel, could you please give a few points, I appreciate the help! Thanks.

Jung is more prevalent in Fifth Business. Robertson Davies is an avowed and recognized Jungian. If you continue with the Deptford Trilogy you will find yourself reading The Manticore, which goes a long way to explaining how Jungian philosophy informs all of Davies' work. In my opinion Freudian elements can be found in almost any novel if one is looking for them. That does not, however, make the novel philosophically Freudian. Davies is fairly simple to research, as are both Freud and Jung. If you spend a little time on that I'm sure that both the characteristics and the necessary references will jump right out at you.
