Archetypes 101

What is an Archetype? An original model on which something is patterned or based (prototype) In literature: character, action or situation that represent universal patterns in human nature. Provides a framework to approach any piece of fiction views literature as a reflection of life

Archetypes Comes from the psychology of C.G. Jung (Young) dealt with man’s unconsciousness and subconscious thoughts, desires, and dreams man has four basic needs: food, water, shelter and love

Archetypes Traveled extensively and concluded from observations that these patterns (archetypes) were so deeply imbedded in our psyches that they go back to prehistoric times they are a part of our collective memory as human begins (everyone’s memory). They have not changed and are present in all people.

Archetypes Present in the unconscious of the individual These symbols are inborn and understood like the instincts are passed on in animals Part of the collective memory since prehistoric times Occurs through all elements of the arts- literature, dance, painting, music and sculpture Understood because they all come from nature or human nature

Jung’s Outline for Archetypes The Self: regulating center of the psyche (human soul/mind/spirit) and facilitator of individuation (personality) The Shadow: darkness w/in us. Suppressed/pushed down into unconscious by ego (self-esteem or self- importance) - “The things a person has no wish to be” - Appears in dreams/fantasies

The Shadow cont. Suppress/hide what we don’t like in ourselves, or what others (family, friends, significant other) don’t like. Not necessarily “negative” attributes. “Positive” attributes can be suppressed if viewed as a weakness (spontaneity, intuition, creativity, etc)

Active/Passive Shadow Every archetype has an active/passive shadow Examples: 1. Warrior Active shadow=sadist Passive shadow=masochist 2. Magician Active=manipulator/trickster Passive=innocent

Archetypes of Literature In literature archetypes occur as: Characters Symbols (object/action/event representing abstract idea/concept. i.e. dove=peace) Colors (pos/neg meaning) Themes (love, hate, good vs. evil) Settings/situations (time, place, atmosphere) Life Cycles (life, seasons, time, meals)
