Mythological and Archetypal

Mythological The mythological critic tries to find references to old religious texts and ancient myths. For instance, there are many references to Bible stories in art, Literature and poetry. There are also often allusions or references to famous myths and mythological like “The Odyssey” and Hercules

Archetypal Humankind has a “collective unconscious,” or universal psyche, which is manifested in our dreams and myths, and which harbors themes and images that are hard-wired in us(Jung) These stories, symbols, and character types appear and reappear in literary works.
