Archetypes: A Brief Exploration Carl Jung- Swiss psychologist who studied under Freud Collective Unconscious “You could call it your ‘psychic inheritance.’ It is the reservoir of our experiences as a species, a kind of knowledge we are all born with. And yet we can never be directly conscious of it. It influences all of our experiences and behaviors, most especially the emotional ones, but we only know about it indirectly, by looking at those influences.” Archetypes 1. Archetype is a Greek word meaning “original pattern, or model.” 2. In literature and art, an archetype is a character, an event, a story or an image that recurs in different works, in different cultures and in different periods of time. 3. An inherited mode of thought that is defined from experience of the race and is present in unconscious minds.
