The Noah Story, reading it as myth, is the report of the overwhelming power of primitive narcissistic anger and of the necessity to bring the good into safety, so that it can survive violent grievance. It shows how grievance can be worked through in order to reach a new level of relationship, and in order to achieve the ability to assume care for others and hence to achieve reconciliation. Thus, the path which this myth attempts to redraw is that which leads from the paranoid-schizoid position to the depressive position.
