	<B>The Goddess and Her Gift: An Analysis 

      of the Fifth Season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer </a> </B></p><p>

   Dedalus ~ Sept 29 2001

   </p><p>

   Adolescence being a fairly new phenomenon in human society 

        (at least as we now think of it), it provided Whedon with a perfect 

        playground in which to stage his drama. The inner life of the American 

        teenager is projected outward, and the apocalyptic emotions of the age 

        become real end-of-the-world scenarios. Myth is often defined as the 

        sacred stories that humans use to make sense of the world as well as 

        find their place in it, and <I>Buffy</I> is really the first to do this 

        for adolescents.
