AHA!!!

My AHA!!! moment with Frye came on page 124 when the text says, "The literary universe, therfore, is a universe in which everything is potentially identical with everything else."

This seemed very interesting to me at first because it seems impossible, but its true. We can make a metaphor out of anything. Anything can be like anything else in literature because they are never separate. I think what Frye is trying to get at in this entire passage is that we cannot argue literature because it is what it is. It is a representation of a representation. The two things are not like one another. They are inseperable from one another. It is just another way to look at a metaphor that I've never encountered before.
