There is one phenomenon which is of great importance in psychological inter- pretation, and this phenomenon we would call the typological dual focus of myth and symbol. This only means that it is the nature of myths and fairy tales to work in equal measure, though in differ- ent ways, upon contrary psychological types. That is to say, the extravert as well as the introvert finds “himself” portray- ed and addressed in the myth. For this reason the myth must be interpreted on the objective level for the extravert and on the subjective level for the introvert, but both interpretations are necessary and meaningful.
