Abstract Details

2018, M.A. (Master of Arts in English), Ohio Dominican University, English.
The Enneagram is an ancient typing system that has experienced a modern revival in 21st-century America. Its practicers use it to explain how people see the world, how they succeed and struggle in relationships, and how one can achieve spiritual growth. This study applies a thorough analysis of the Enneagram to evaluate classic American literary characters Jay Gatsby, Huck Finn, and Jean Louise "Scout" Finch in a new lens. It possesses the same emphasis Enneagram practicers have: how do these characters see the world, how do they succeed and struggle in relationships, and how do they grow?
