of knights, dragons and a man's heart.

the fantasy genre has been swept away by King Arthur and Robin Hood. Volumes and volumes of variations of the same stories. there have been tributaries of this genre with simple stories of a man's search and fight for his woman, and through it, his soul. sometimes he finds the former first and sometimes he finds the latter.

however, literature is not the point here. Follow me: literature and the art of writing is an expression of the soul. an expression of the mind and it's qualities. just as music and painting are. they are direct lines of the most passionate parts of us. that is just the way of things. it must be expressed and released somehow.

deep in our beings, we have this need. this desire.

girls: have one to be rescued.

guys: need to rescue.

Note the opposites there. Note the needs for fufillment that kinda gravitate to each other.


Literature and many other things show that there has always been this need in males for the rescuing of fair maidens in towers from dragons. Dragons have never existed to our knowledge but there have been other evils to rescue a woman from. Take for instance the whole battle of Troy.

We, as modern humans must realize that there is still a need to rescue fair maidens from their dragons. it is just that their dragons are not visible. Their dragons are just as real. Fight back, men. fill that void. protect them.
