Carl Jung Archetypes

How does an elaborate story develop? A story such as a novel must have a few key components to become a great story. It must have the proper background information to start, and once a setting and the main characters are established, then the story can begin to develop as a whole. Much like the novel “White Fang”, which has a few characters that represent the idea of familial archetypes, as presented by Carl Jung. These characters used in the story, “White Fang”, include the she-wolf as the mother, White Fang represents the child, and Gray Beaver as the father archetype.

In Genesis, we are engaged with an omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent God. The Lord saw all the evil upon the earth and devised a plan to cleanse it and start anew with a righteous man named Noah and his family. The Lord’s plan consisted of a flood to destroy the earth and all the evil in and on it. He instructed Noah how to build an ark, so his family and two of each animal, male

The Bible affirms that Noah took his wife, his sons and stepdaughters, two of every kind of animal, and seven of every kind of bird on the ark with him. Each species had a male and its mate to keep the species alive. In The Epic of Gilgamesh, Utnapishtim had his sons with wives, people who wanted to remain alive, multitudinous amounts of the city’s craftsmen, and “divers kinds of beast.” These views weren’t that different despite the fact that on Utnapishtim’s boat, there were people from the

In Chapter 7, we see that God’s word is true. He upholds his judgment and the great flood begins.(7:6) Here the all-powerful destroyer is portrayed, for all earthly life is eliminated except that inside the Ark. God’s word is also true in His remembrance of the covenant formed with Noah, by stopping the flood.(8:1)

Two cultures, Mesopotamians and Hebrew, despite being separated through time and geography, are very similar. Among these similarities were their flood stories. Both cultures felt they had displeased their God or gods, though either sin or clamor, and in anger these deities decided to flood and kill all of humankind. In both cases, the God or gods took pity on a single family, allowing them to live and prosper. Both Noah and Utnapishtim were instructed to take all animals on the boat. In the case of the Hebrews, there was a specific number of each animal that should be taken on the boat. This number was seven. The Mesopotamians emphasized this same number, but in relation to how long it rained. Obviously the dove is a sacred bird in both cultures

Carl Gustav Jung was born on July 26th 1875. He was born to Paul Achilles Jung and Emilie Preiswerk in the town of Kesswil, Switzerland. Jung was the 4th child born but the only child that survived. His family life was strained, and his mother spent the majority of her time locked in her room, where she said that spirits visited her at night. When the family moved to Laufen his mother was hospitalized due to an unknown physical ailment. Jung was sent to live with his mother 's unmarried sister, but was later sent back home to his father. The stressful relationship with his mother in his early life influenced Jung’s attitude towards women, one he describes as being “of innate unreliability". This was a view that he later referred to as the "handicap I started off with."

God provided direction on the inhabitants of the ark to include Noah, his wife, their three sons and their wives, seven of each clean animal, two of each animal that was unclean a male and a female.

God told him that he was disappointed with how wicked the people had become and that Noah was the only righteous man. So, he assembled his ark, which was smaller than Utnapishtim’s. He built it with his family and filled the boat with two of each animal. In Genesis, the flood lasted forty days and forty nights. To go out and find land post-flood, Noah sent out two birds, one twice. One raven, which came back, then the same dove twice, which came back the second time with an olive branch. When all was said and done, God thanks Noah by sending His bow in the sky (his rainbow) and calls it He and Noah’s

God created man and beasts to live on the earth. Regretting all that He has done. With God saying, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping things and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” In saying this, God destroyed everyone, but Noah’s family (Genesis 6:6-7).

I've always found it incredibly hard to describe myself. I feel like I don't really fit into any specific category because I have many different traits from different personality types and don't just fit into one set group. Looking at the archetypes Carl Jung came up with, I can definitely see that I identify with several different archetypes. Starting with ego, I think I identify most with the orphan/regular gal. The orphan wants to belong, to fit in, and not lose themselves in trying so hard to fit in. I struggle with this a lot, actually. I always feel the desire to want to fit in, I want to blend in and connect with people without standing out too much. I want to make friends and have people to talk to, but I also don't want to be singled out and have

Carl Gustav Jung is a Swiss psychiatrist and the successor of psychoanalysis with important intellectual movements of the twentieth century. In his early career, Jung was influenced by the theory of Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis (Breger 2000, p. 217). However, they came into disagreement in notions which then broke their relationship. It was because Freud’s view of myth was based on reality, which there was no religion involved, whereas Jung though that myth was based on both reality and religion. Consequently, Jung’s notions were commonly accepted by society because of the wider context. Then, through his research and clinical findings, he developed some concepts like archetypes, collective unconscious, shadow, extrovert and introvert and persona (Carter 2011 p. 442). These concepts help Jung to deepen the explanation about myth. For Jung, myth is a projection of archetypes and collective unconscious. Their form are universal and identical with every society back into history. Myth can be identical because the original form, the archetypes, is configured to be the same among human's unconscious globally where people's psychic realm encounters certain motifs and typical figures that built into the structure of man’s unconsciousness (Jung Myth Ex. 3-4). According to Edward Tylor and James Frazer, myth and science were contradict where science was factual and myth was not (Segal 2003, p. 48). Therefore, myth has an important role in human nature and modern

The strengths and weaknesses of a committed actor can be paradoxical. For this area I chose to consult with an acting colleague of 17 years. I thought it was necessary to have an objective perspective to honestly describe what has been observed from someone that knows me, personally. The following paragraph from a close friend and veteran actor explains this quandary in her description of me.

In the 1920’s, a Swiss psychologist named Carl Jung devised a theory. Jung didn’t accept the idea that the behaviors of people were random. Instead, he was a firm believer that the differences between individuals were a result of how people use their brains. Jung claimed that “what appears to be random behavior is actually the result of differences in the way people prefer to use their mental capacities.” (The Myers & Briggs Foundation). Jung realized that people typically function in one of two ways, take in information or make decisions, and that people usually are more comfortable alone or around others. With all these observations, Jung wrote a book titled Psychological Types, which introduced the idea of personality and psychological

In his book, Modern Man In Search Of A Soul, C.G. Jung gives a layperson insight into his ideas on dream analysis. Jung's primary objective in this book is to educate the reader as to what a psychoanalyst does when analyzing a patient's dreams. The principal message in the section of the book centered on dream analysis is that dreams should never stand alone. Dreams are meaningless in a vacuum, but on the other hand when put against a strict set of rules, they are oftentimes misunderstood. The unconscious is a fluid entity and cannot be handled either in isolation or with a static set of guidelines. Dreams are reflections of the unconscious and can represent many different things inside of

Carl Jung was a Psychologist and psychiatrist who developed a form of analytic psychotherapy. Many of his Ideas can be paralleled to religious spirituality and healing in India. In this paper, I hope to provide information about Carl Jung and his ideas about psychoanalysis, different methods of religious healing in India, and a comparison of the two.
