NB: concerning archetypes and theories

Hello again --

In my last post, I said that appealing storyline archetypes were 
"rarely...satisfying if pressed too far."  I ought to clarify that by saying 
that storyline archetypes pressed too far tend to die because there is 
nothing particular left, only the archetype.  Fleshed-out scenarios as held 
by particular people and delineated in fanfiction, however, are a different 
matter entirely, precisely because they are so particular, and there's 
nothing to suggest that they don't (or shouldn't) satisfy the writer or 
theory-holder until the real JKR thing comes along.  Nothing, however, not 
even my own theories, have satisfied me thus far concerning Ron's future 
development.

Gotta run --

Lisa I.
