In Thomas C. Foster’s “How to Read Literature like a Professor”, myth and archetype are thoroughly discussed and analyzed. Some of these themes are exemplified in Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s work, The Yellow Wallpaper, in which a nameless narrator experiences her own personal hell, driven into madness by her improper psychiatric treatment.

She describes the narrator’s descent as a journey, through the use of symbolism and her treatment as a mentally ill woman.

Not one archetype can describe me; multiple archetypes make up who I am- warrior and martyr. I am not a warrior in the sense that I am willing to fight to the death or a martyr in the sense that I will give up my life for any cause. I am a warrior and martyr because certain aspects describe who I am today. There is one movie character that I find myself relating to very strongly, Mulan from the Disney movie Mulan. Although I did not have to go through the same journey and have the same struggles as she did, we are both similar in the aspect that we are ambitious when it comes to our goal and will willingly put others in front of us.

1. The River – Almost any source of water will focus on the importance of life. Without water there is no life. A journey on or down a river is often a metaphor for life’s journey or a character’s journey, especially if the river is shown as a road or means of travel – pulling or pushing a character through changes. (Twain’s Huck Finn) Rivers can also be a metaphor for the passage of time (Big Fish) or the stages of a human life (creek, roaring river, sea; or the crossing of the river Styx in Greek myths).

The Magicians is a novel which presents worlds within a world, and this world is peopled with characters who are complex, brilliant, powerful and have such a good shine of their own that it overshadows the protagonist himself.
