Bain-Selbo Reading

Bain-Selbo notes that the theorist René Girard argues that "the operations of violence and the

sacred are ultimately the same process" (as quoted by Bain-Selbo, 75).

Regardless of whether or not we agree with Girard, in own words explain what Girard (as

discussed by Bain-Selbo) means by this provocative statement. Then, provide an example

(one not discussed in the reading) to show the understanding this difficult concept.
