Hey Xuxana!!!Unrelated, but amusing nonetheless. ;^)Hey Mel!!!Glad you liked it!Hey Sam.I.am!!!Yes, exactly. I think in feminist terms the MPDG is quite ambiguous. On the one hand, the story is about the male protagonist learning something (and it would be nice to see stories about female characters growing and learning something). On the other hand, you're right that the MPDG is "whole, secure in her own purposes" -- indeed has a sort of wisdom about life to impart. As female characters go, you can certainly do a lot worse!
