Zhuangzi
Experience: Self-Acceptance
Narrative Technology: Shame Reducer
In the "Tale of Wonton," the main character dies because those in power are trying to make him experience the world as they do, but he also includes stories like "the dream of the butterfly" that doesn't include characters that can be villains, but encourages us to "appreciate two sides of life" (Fletcher 159).
