Description

Jungian Archetypes, Identity, and the Literature Part I: Review 

An archetype is: Universal unborn models of people, behaviors, or personalities that play a role in influencing behavior. It could also be considered the orginal version.

` 

Archetypes have universal qualities. Universal qualities mean: Qualities that could be everywhere and for everyone.



Why are archetypes important? Archetypes are important because they are a principle function in guiding the selection of a romantic partner and the direction of a subsequent relationship. They just aid helping one identify themselves overall.

 What character from a movie, book, or story reminds you in some way of yourself? Why? I remind myself of Moana from the movie Moana because she wanted to experience freedom and her dad wouldn’t let her and I have a similar problem.



Share your character with someone else. Are there any similarities? What might this mean?

Yes, the friends I shared this character with greatly agree that I withhold similar hardships that Moana does and how we both risked a few things in life to earn that freedom that we deserved.

You do NOT have to choose from this list. Aladdin Wizard of Oz Toy Story Joker Donkey (Shrek) Sauron (LOTR) The Sirens Calypso The Sword and the Stone Cinderella Robin Hood Hancock Sleeping Beauty A Bug’s Life Peter Pan Yoda Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs Beauty and the Beast Batman Samwise Gamgee The ugly duckling Robin (Batman) Shrek Aragorn (LOTR) Alice v. the Queen of Hearts Cinderella’s fairy godmother Perseus outwits three sisters and kills Medusa Frodo must destroy the ring King Arthur must get the sword, Excalibur

Quality

Example

Conquers obstacles and saves the day; typically embarks on some quest, either physical or spiritual. The quality that makes a character truly heroic is his willingness to put others ahead of himself.

Spiderman could be an example of this hero.

Archetype

Hero

Damsel in Distress

A vulnerable woman (usually beautiful and pure) who needs to be rescued by the hero; often used as a trap to ensnare the unsuspecting hero.

Cinderella is seen as a damsel in distress.

Mother Figure

The archetypal mother figure doesn't have to literally be a mother. Role is to care for and guide her “family”; sometimes a spiritual leader, and usually receives love and respect from other characters.

Wendy was seen as a other figure guiding the others.

The Journey

The journey sends the Hero in search of some truth that will help save his kingdom/home

Battle of Good & Evil

A battle between two primal forces. Mankind shows eternal optimism in the continual portrayal of good triumphing over evil despite great odds.

The wizard of oz is a great example of a journey as they traveled the yellow brick road. An example of good and evil is batman vs. the joker.

Part IV: You are the expert! Research two archetypes that interest you from the list below. Pretend you are teaching the class about these two archetypes. In the space below, tell what it is, what its qualities are, and then include at least two other examples from well-known stories (or TV) of your archetype. Please insert pictures! 1. sidekick 2. villain 3. underdog 4. the trickster 5. outcast 6. mentor 7. the nurturer 8. temptress 9. the innocent 10. false prophet /magician 11. the sage

Archetype #1: The first I chose is the word underdog. Thus, an underdog tends to be characters who are over looked and doubted. However, underdogs always seem to come out on top. For instance, Ponyboy and Johnny from the movie The Outsiders were pushed around and seen as weak but ended up proving everyone wrong at the end.

Archetype #2: Then there is the sidekick which is like the personal helper. This helper is someone who attends every journey the hero does and assists the whole way if need be. For example scooby and shaggy. Use this Space to insert information and pictures....
