and
these stories (when studied
comparatively) are far more
similar than different.
When reading a work looking for
archetypes or myths, critics look
for very general
 In
modern times, the same types of
archetypes are used in film, which is why it
has been so easy for filmmakers to take a
work like Jane Austen’s
and adapt it
into the typical Hollywood film
.
 By drawing on those
modern authors allow readers to know the
characters in a work with a little or no
explanation.
 Imagine how
would be if
the author had to give every detail about
every single minor character that entered
the work.
Archetypal Characters
A figure, larger than life, whose
search for self-identity and/or self-fulfillment
results in his own destruction (often
accompanied by the destruction of the
general society around him).
 While
this applies to modern superheroes
such as
(Clark Kent searching for
the balance between his super self and his
mortal self), it also applies to the Christian
faith’s
(a mortal man who
comes to terms with his destiny as the
messiah), and thousands of other literary
and religious figures throughout history.
Some Variations Of The
Hero Figure Include:
 The
“
” prince or the lost chieftains son
raised ignorant of his heritage until he is
rediscovered. (King Arthur)
 The “
”: An innocent character on whom a
situation is blamed, or who assumes the blame for
the situation, and is punished in place of the truly
guilty party, thus removing the guilt from the culprit
and society.
 The “
” or “
”: A character who is
separated from (or separates him or herself from)
society due to a physical impairment or an
emotional or physiological realization that makes
this character different. Jesus goes into the desert to
discern his destiny; Buddha leaves society to come
to terms with his philosophy. Victor Frankenstein
travels to remote locales to avoid people when he
realizes that he has created a monster. Often, the
Hero is an outcast at some point in his or her Story.
The Common Variations Of The
Loner Are:
 The
, the smaller, weaker, lessworldly-wise character, who usually emerges
victorious at the end of the story;
 The
in search of redemption.
 The
: the male or female personification
of evil. Note that, while nearly all literature has
an antagonist to provide conflict with the
protagonist, not all antagonists are villains.
Villains are indeed personifications of evil.
Their malice is often apparently unmotivated,
or motivated by a single wrong (or perceived
wrong) from the past. The villain's malice often
limitless, and rarely is the villain reformed
within the context of the story. Examples of
archetypal villains are
,
the
, and
(from Norse
Mythology)
the female who possesses what
the male desires and uses his desire (either
intentionally or unintentionally) as a means to
his ultimate destruction. Examples are Eve,
Juliet, Lady Macbeth.
Mother Nature,
Mother earth-the nurturing, life giving aspect of
femininity.

: The often unidentified
feminine inspiration for works of art and
literature. Examples would be Dante’s Beatrice,
Shakespeare’s Dark Lady Ect.
: Largely of eastern origin, the sage is
the elderly wise man; the teacher or mentor.
Examples from Western literature would be
Merlin and Tiresias. Yoda from Star Wars and
Gandalf from The Hobbit and Lord Of The Rings.

Some Variations Of the Sage
Include:

while the male SAGE’s wisdom is
usually

(often
with political or military applications),
the wise woman’s wisdom tends to be
more an understanding of the

connection of the wise woman with
witchcraft and all of the associated
superstitions.

fortune teller, sooth-sayer.

They are usually symbols that
occur in mythologies and literature from
cultures, continents, and eras. The following are some
of the archetypes and symbols that will be helpful in the
current unit.*
A
Handbook of Critical Approaches to Literature by
Guerin, Labor, Morgan, Willingham, 1999.
Dictionary of Symbolism: Cultural Icons and the
Meanings Behind Them by Biedermann, translated by
Hulbert, 1992.
A Dictionary of Symbols by J.E. Cirlot.
: Female, because of its passivity as the
receiver of the sun’s light (as in the yin), and also
because of similarities between the lunar month
and the menstrual cycle.
 The
waxing and waning of the moon, and
the inevitable return of the same lunar form,
marks a striking symbol for all of the
philosophies combining death and rebirth…
 the three most striking phases of the moon
(first quarter, full, and dark or new) are
associated with the three phases of a
woman’s life (maiden, mother, old
woman)(Cirlot 224-5).

4 – Symbolizes completion, solidity, and
comprehensiveness. Visually represented by a
square. It is the doubling of duality (2).
Examples: four elements, four seasons, four
phases of the moon, four elements of the
compass, four weeks, four horsemen of the
apocalypse, four winds.

 Celestial
Bodies: The sun (masculine) is both
the giver and destroyer of life; the moon
(feminine) marks the passage of time and
controls the course of human events.
Seedtime, harvest, etc., are all determined
more by the phases of the sun.
