Well, classic literature is adding new demention to everything in my life...unfortunately it's creeping into my "mindless time". The other day I was watching the loquacious show Gilmore Girls when I realized that the three goddesses were represented in the show.
Rory, the maiden: Rory is the epitome of the waifish, chaste, breathy-voiced, innocent girl with big blue doe-eyes.
Lorelai, the mother: Lorelai is Rory's mother, her namesake, and she was split when she gave birth to Rory at the age of sixteen. Unable to bear her mother's domination any longer, Lorelai runs away from home after graduating from high school and begins her new life completely separate from her mother with Rory. She has no husband, so she cannot hold the position of the wife, and she gave-up her role as daughter when she left her mother's house. She is a mother, but she is still struggling with her own battles as a woman.
Emily, the crone: Oppressive, passive-aggressive, and completely selfish, she is Lorelai's mother, the older crone.
