Emily Archetypes

Character Archetypes are varieties of human beings who possess certain qualities, based on their ambitions, fears, and ways of life.

An archetype is a model or ideal example in which other things are patterned. There are many archetypes that could represent many characters; but for my character, Haley Kincain, the caregiver archetype represents her the best. Haley represents a caregiver due to constantly caring for her father and his Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, along with helping her friends with problems like divorce and bullying. I found her to be pragmatic, considerate and patient throughout the book.

An archetype is defined as an image, story-pattern, character, setting, symbol, or situation that recurs frequently in literature and in life. It demonstrates universal human experiences and associates strongly with readers through a subconscious understanding. In the Epic of Gilgamesh the main character, Gilgamesh, is an example of a superheroic archetypal hero. He took on an epic quest for everlasting life by following the archetypal steps of a hero’s journey. Through suffering due to tragedy, realizing the nature of his quest, seeking help from a mentor, experiencing failure, and returning home with a companion, Gilgamesh’s story followed the situational archetype of a hero’s journey.

The first archetype is the hero archetype, best portrayed by Christopher, the main character in the book. The second archetype is the evil figure with a good heart, best portrayed by Christopher’s dad, Ed Boone.

What is an archetype? An archetype is a recurrent symbol or motif in literature, art, or mythology. A Hero’s Journey is a series of events, which are also archetypes that give the story structure and help progress the plot. The 2009 movie directed by James Cameron, Avatar, is a great example to show how archetypes help to propel a plot. Avatar is about Jake Sully, a crippled marine, having to go on a mission to become an avatar to fulfill his brother’s legacy after he died. To complete his mission, he travels to an exotic planet named Pandora. The planet was inhabited by the Na’vi, a tribe of human-like creatures who revolve their lives and beliefs around nature.

An archetype would be known as a universal symbol, may be a character, a theme or even a setting. In the story Sir Gawain and The Green Knight, the knights of Camelot get confronted by a mysterious figure known as the Green Knight. The Green Knight proposes a challenge on a New Year’s Eve feast for Camelot’s leader or bravest man. Gawain accepts this challenge in which he has to complete to obtain Camelot’s honor. The Green Knight presents himself as a threat to Camelot because of the way he presents himself and his request. Throughout the poem of Sir Gawain and The Green Knight, the reader can conclude how a single character can play many archetypal roles.

Imagine being called a monster although you can think, feel and have goals like any other human. Though, due to looking like a beast no humans believe you aren’t hostile. Archetypes are used exactly to show how one can be seen in a story, demonstrating what group they fit in that story.

The identification of archetypes in literature is to primarily find the behaviors and characteristics of the main protagonist, it is important to discover the ambiguity of how the traits change and develop throughout the rising

I believe a villain is more than the character to depress the hero and to have that ability to play a character as I see fit would make my performance more believable and make an impact on the viewer instead of just an unacceptable opponent for a flawless superhero.

Villains have always exited me more than heroes, I feel they have more zeal and a greater passion for their cause. They fear nothing, welcoming the unexpected like an old friend. I would take on the role of a villain not to cause mayhem but to better understand the true feeling of being alive. Having no worries or cares in the world would be exuberantly zen.

When people hear the word villain they automatically think of the aberrant lifestyle and all the retched stereotypes that the name comes with but I see something more, I see the hard working,
