Summary
In this lecture, originally made for the Elder Scrolls & Philosophy study, I read The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion alongside Søren Kierkegaard’s Fear and Trembling. We look at: • Why Oblivion breaks the “chosen one” pattern of Morrowind and Skyrim — and centers Martin Septim instead • True heroism that is not concerned with being seen as heroic • The knight of infinite resignation vs the knight of faith • Sacrifice, Abraham and Isaac, and what it means to enter Oblivion willingly Watch the video for this episode and subscribe to my YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/9XUuJ7vLw1E Join the Mythic Mind Fellowship: https://mythicmindfellowship.com Listen to all THREE Mythic Mind podcasts: • Mythic Mind • Mythic Mind Games • Mythic Mind Movies & Shows
