CALLING ALL SOULSFAGS
I'm taking a bullshit Mythology class to fulfill theLiberal Artsrequirement for my business degree, and one of the main components is a paper. It's pretty open-ended and I want to incorporate Dark Souls lore into my thesis for funsies (save your comments about it being cringeworthy, I truly do not give a fuck about this class), but the problem is I've always been terrible at analyzing all that cryptic shit.
For reference, here's the outline:
1. The hero/dragon-slayer (e.g. Zeus vs. Marduk or Heracles vs. Gilgamesh or Beowulf or a hero from science fiction or fantasy). Is there a message in this classic contest between good and evil or is it just a good story? What is the role of the hero? Is it to protect a community or to make a name for himself? How do the heroes from different cultures (or the monsters they face) compare? Are they equal, similar or different? If they are different, you should explain why.
I was thinking of just writing about the Chosen Undead and their ambiguous role as neither a hero nor a villain, but I know there's probably a ton of cooler shit with all the dragons in DaS3. Do my homework for me, fags.

Why are soulsfags so autistic?

And just so you dont think it was made up by some random blogger, here's the original idea, by some guy named Chris Vogler who wrote a critique of Joseph Campbell
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Writer's_Journey:_Mythic_Structure_for_Writers
Read this, and "hero of 1000 faces" and cite crap from the things they talk about.
Boom, there's your goddamn sources.

this is high school level material. do you go to community college, you fucking loser?
>>337860935
No one literally cares, mate. The point of college to wing every class and hope you land a decent job. We're not autistic sperglords who obsess over every little detail. Now are you gonna help me or not?
>>337861157
absolutely fucking not. you chose to waste your time and money, don't beg for help from stranger, you fucking dog.

write about the age of fire gwyn started and how it all went to shit (include how humanity isnt exactly good), if not that go do vendrick's story(include how aldia blurs the line between the right thing to do and the wrong thing to do)
those 2 are the best pieces you could take from dark souls

Butthurt.

I don't understand your outline. Do you want to talk only about DaS 3 or the three games' lore.
Also personnally I would focus more on the player character and its journey because this is what you get to experience directly as the player.
Dragons are really secondary in DaS' lore. They are very important creatures but they only play an important role in the first game

Fuck off, you uneducated shit lord. Help me out or don't, fuck stick.

Those goddamn lying snakes maybe?

The Mentor should be the Crestfallen guy.
He teaches you about the world and how it works, and tells you what you should do to get stronger in the beginning.
