Abstract
This creative writing thesis proposes and outlines an original method for the criticism and adaptation of aesthetic artefacts and events, called fictoanalysis. It is structured in three parts, the first titled The Surface of Myth, the second titled Agamemn on, and the third titled simply Fictoanalysis which are part 1 of the exegesis, the creative text itself, and part 2 of the exegesis respectively. Initially, in the Surface of Myth, the thesis identifies the import of a new critical method by noting an ex tant creative process that thus far lacks modelisation. Agamemnon details this critical method, demonstrating an original mode of generative analysis which delivers artistic/aesthetic outcomes that are, in Fictoanalysis, declared to be feats of simultaneous creativity and discovery. In Fictoanalysis, the final part of the thesis, the functionality of this method, i.e., how it works and what it does, is delineated and clarified.
