[eBook] [PDF] For Immersion, Identification, and the Iliad 1st Edition By Prof Jonathan Ready

Immersion, Identification, and the Iliad is about why people care about The Iliad, an ancient story. This book looks at The Iliad in a new way, using ideas from modern studies like psychology and media studies. It explains how people can get so involved in a story, whether it’s a book, movie, or TV show, that they forget about everything around them. This feeling is called “immersion.”

The book also talks about “identification,” which is when readers or viewers start to see things from a character’s point of view, feel what the character feels, and want the character to succeed. The author looks at how ancient people reacted to The Iliad and compares it to how we react to stories today. The book examines some important scenes in The Iliad to show how people, both in ancient times and today, connect with the story and its characters.

This book is helpful for students, teachers, and anyone who wants to understand how people enjoy stories. It combines research on The Iliad with modern ideas about how we engage with stories in books, movies, and other media.
