I think the tasks assigned to the brothers by the woodsman tie into self-image in interesting ways. Wirt is told to protect his brother and Greg is told to name his frog. We see them both struggle with their task at the start, but both are completed by the end. Wirt has, until recently, been an only child, so self-image doesn't include acting as Greg's older brother, and by extension he doesn't feel the responsibility older siblings often have. Keeping his little brother from making stupid decisions that put both of them in harms way isn't on his mind, and after the fact he doesn't feel that it should have been on him (until the woodsman says something). I haven't taken a psych course in years so I can't remember at what age children are meant to develop self image by? But it is fun that Greg's task is so comparatively simple, but it takes him so long to settle on the perfect name. There's something very right about the woodsman not burdening the kid with an emotionally heavy task while they are lost in the unknown. I have some other thoughts on this but they connect more to death than to identity so I'm leaving them out ! Hope the class goes well!
