 An Archetype it is a universal theme that manifests itself differently on an individual basis.  (In other words, an Archetype can be a theme, a character or a plot)  Archetype = Prototype

Lets put this in context! Here are some question one might ask from this analytical standpoint……..

Over the centuries what has this archetype come to represent?

What common archetype does this character represent?

What is the common archetype for such an event?

One of the most prominent archetypal thinkers is a man name Carl Jung. Jung believed that archetypes were the result of a collective unconscious In other words, he believed that people did not learn archetypes, but many were already known.

Positives Not verbal or written messages Primordial Anyone can use it Origin of religious ideas, other central concepts Negatives May differ across different cultures Failure to pay attention to other parts of literature Relies on stereotypes/fictional ideas? Too abstract, lose personal meaning

Archetypes can often convey messages that verbal and written information cannot. Seeing something as simple as a clock, meaning time, or a man in black, hinting that he is evil. Primordial: That is, we, as individuals, have these archetypal images ingrained in our understanding even before we are born. The American Dream “All the most powerful ideas in history go back to archetypes. This is particularly true of religious ideas, but the central concepts of science, philosophy, and ethics are no exception to this rule. In their present form they are variants of archetypal ideas created by consciously applying and adapting these ideas to reality. For it is the function of consciousness not only to recognize and assimilate the external world through the gateway of the senses, but to translate into visible reality the world within us.” – Carl Jung
