Archetypes 101

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

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 beings (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 Occurs through all elements of the arts-literature, dance, painting, music, film/television, 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 within us; suppressed/pushed down into unconscious by ego (self-esteem or self-importance); all archetypes have active and passive shadow 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.)

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/motifs (love, hate, good vs. evil) Settings/situations (time, place, atmosphere) Life Cycles (life, seasons, time, meals)

Examples of Hero Types Orphan: Spiderman, Batman, Superman, Frodo Baggins, Luke Skywalker, Harry Potter, Huck Finn Wanderer: Indiana Jones, Zorro, Captain Kirk (Star Trek), Amelia Earhart Magician/Wise Old Man: Gandalf, Merlin, Loki, Darth Vader Martyr/Sacrificial Victim: Nelson Mandela, Susan B. Anthony, Gandhi, Joan of Arc Warrior/Hero: Hercules, Beowulf, John Wayne, James Bond, Achilles
