René Girard is a renowned French ideologist, whose views on myths were based on the theory of mimetic desire and scapegoat mechanism. René Girards theory originated from the criticism of Freuds psychology and LeviStrausss analysis of myth. René Girard believed that myth was rooted in real violence, which was seen from persecutors perspective. However, the Bible provides demystification and denounce of violence, the perspective from victim. In certain sense, René Girards View on Myth was valid for the interpretation of myth, but his views also had their shortcomings.
