"Groundhog Day, Deja Vu," and the Myth of the Eternal Recurrence.

Voeltz, Richard A.

Interdisciplinary Humanities, v15 n2 p179-86 Fall 1998

Reveals that through the use of the movie "Groundhog Day," students in humanities courses can grasp Friedrich Nietzsche's myth of eternal recurrence; the myth addresses the question of what if everything that occurred in one's life occurred again just as it happened before. Discusses the similarities between Nietzsche's myth and the movie. (CMK)
