disappears, and with it all feeling of security. The tribal 
     community (and later the ‘city’) is the place of security 
     for the member of the tribe. Surrounded by enemies and 
     by dangerous or even hostile magical forces, he 
     experiences the tribal community as a child experiences 
     his family and his home, in which he plays his definite 
     part; a part he knows well, and plays well. The breakdown 
     of the closed society, raising as it does the problem of 
     class and other problems of social status, must have had 
     the same effect upon the citizens as a serious family 
     quarrel and the breaking up of the family home is liable to 
     have on children. Of course, this kind of strain was felt by 
     the privileged classes, now that they were threatened, 
     more strongly than by those who had formerly been 
     suppressed; but even the latter felt uneasy. They also 
     were frightened by the breakdown of their ‘natural’ world.
