Archetype vs. Stereotype

Stereotype Overgeneralization Oversimplification Often has negative connotations Suggests a stock character or a cliché Dependent on current culture (can become out of date) Examples: the ditzy blond, the beer-guzzling jock, the doting “mother hen”

Archetype Original model, prototype In psychology (Carl Jung) a universally inherited idea or pattern A model/pattern for recurring themes, character types, plot elements, or images in literature Has positive literary connotations Archetypes with Examples: the unwilling hero (Frodo Baggins, Harry Potter); the willing hero (Luke Skywalker); loss of innocence (Jem in To Kill a Mockingbird); circle of life (Lion King)

Genesis has lots of archetypes! Snake: corruption, evil, sexuality Eve: the archetypal temptress Garden of Eden: paradise, innocence Eating from Tree of Knowledge: loss of innocence

Sentences using the word correctly: Prometheus is an archetypal hero. The Garden of Eden is an archetype for settings of paradise and innocence. The coming-of-age story featured a loss of innocence, including an archetypal garden setting and snake figure. The archetype of the “hero’s journey” is featured in many adventure films today.
