Robert A. Johnson, HarperOne, 1993.
Johnson uses three myths to talk about masculinity: Don Quixote represents simple consciousness, living in the inner mythical world; Hamlet represents "modern existential life"; and Faust represents man moving to enlightenment. There's a sub-theme of the idea of 3 moving to 4 representing a move to complete consciousness. It's a thin volume (105 pages), but interesting material as usual for Johnson.
