Examples Of Archetypes In Finding Nemo

The Princess Bride is so much more than just a novel. There is death, heartbreak, adventure, character development and more. There are plenty of archetypes in this story, and they are usually pretty easy to catch. The three main archetypes in The Princess Bride are the dumb blonde, love, and the determined.

In the movie Finding Nemo, there are many archetypal elements present. Not only are archetypal situations present, but of course characters. Nemo and Marlin both meet archetypal characters and come across situational archetypes. The Hero, the Sidekick, the “Wise Old Man”, and even an archetypal ending all make an appearance in Nemo’s adventure throughout the big, blue world.

To start off our story, we need to go from the beginning. Marlin and his wife are soon to be parents, with their many fish babies. Before they are born, a shark comes through and eats the wife and all of the babies but one. That last little fish hatches and is Marlin’s only kid, which is named Nemo. One day at school, Nemo was feeling rebellious and swam out into the open water towards a boat. Nemo is taken by the fisherman, which of course freaks out

When watching different movies, one must look deep into the characters in order to determine the archetype they might be. One example of an archetype that characters may represent is Sage. Sage is the independence and fulfillment that a character holds, and discovers throughout the movie the truth in which sets them free. The sage archetype is well demonstrated within all three movies: Watership Down, Princess Bride, and Up. There is at least one character in each of these movies that signifies the sage archetype.

In Homers epic poem “The Odyssey” there are many archetypes, many of which were the origin of the archetype. An archetype is a character type, place, or symbol, every culture shares. In “The Odyssey” Homer uses archetypes to evoke meaning to the story. Some examples of archetypes in “The Odyssey” are the temptress, and the father-son conflict.

Both being clown fish, Nemo and Marlin live in the ocean, in the anemone. Marlin is Nemo’s father who is viewed as being overprotective towards Nemo. Marlin portrays the characteristic of being overprotective because while Nemo was in the egg as a baby, one of his fins was damaged. Nemo, tired of his overprotective father decides that he wants to prove himself by swimming into the open ocean. However, things do not turn out very well and Nemo is captured by a scuba diver. Parenting instinct kick in, and Marlin immediately swims after the boat that is now carrying Nemo. Marlin eventually loses sight of the boat, however throughout the duration of the movie, he continues to look for his son Nemo. While on his journey to find Nemo, Marlin meets a blue tang fish named Dory, who suffers from sort term memory loss (Stanton & Unkrich,2003). With the help of Dory, they are able to eventually find Nemo (Stanton & Unkrich, 2003). Come

Throughout the movie O Brother, Where Art Thou, classic storytelling through archetypes is reworked into a more modern time in order to create the unique gem that it is. Archetypes are a general persona of a character that is repeated many times through films and literature, they define the character and give meaning to their roles. Archetypes have been used ever since stories were made, from the Odyssey to even Percy Jackson. Archetypes tend to set the stage for the story, and get revealed throughout the story adding more life and energy to it. Three examples of archetypes expressed very well through characters in the movie are the hero, the alter ego, and the temptress.

In your daily life, different people are different roles and deciphering then determining who plays what archetype can alter your own journey. This is similar to literature where characters affect the hero’s journey and represent archetypes. Each character in literature serves as an archetype that will change the outcome of the journey the hero takes. In the film the Princess Bride directed by Rob Reiner, various characters represent archetypes like evil adversary, loyal companion, and damsel in distress who affect the hero, Wesley’s journey.

With every corner we turn in today’s culture, we become more and more aware of the archetypes that surround us. Archetypes are the works of a typical character, situation, setting, or symbol that can be found in fantasy and reality. An example would be the renowned medieval story Sir Gawain and the Green Knight by Pearl Poet. The author permeates the story with situational, symbolic, and character archetypes that illustrate the profound life of Sir Gawain. Sir Gawain was apprehensive of his journey at first, but as time passes, he began to make choices that unveils to the audience the true flawed knight that he was.

Bilbo, Gandalf, and Smaug are examples of character archetypes. For example, Bilbo represents the hero. Gandalf represents the mentor. Smaug’s archetype is the threshold guardian. These functions or roles are like makeup that the characters wear in the story. In ‘The Hobbit’, Bilbo, Gandalf and Smaug play roles that help develop suspense in the story.

Archetype refers to a generic version of a personality. Archetypes are continually present in folklore and literature for thousands of years, including prehistoric artwork. 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

Once there was a woman who told a story. However, she had more than just an entertaining tale to tell. She chose common images that everyone would understand, and she wrapped her story around them, and in this way she was able to teach the people . . .

As an offspring of the 1990s, I long back ago about how often I've seen "Finding Nemo" – and given Pixar's new affinity for spin-offs, an arrival to that richly introduced submerged world was maybe unavoidable. Set quite a while after "Nemo," "Finding Dory" focuses on the cherished blue tang with memory issues, who wanders forward on a transoceanic adventure looking for her departed guardians. Appropriately, "Finding Dory" has to a lesser degree a street motion picture vibe than the first. There's Hank, a delightfully curmudgeonly octopus set on getting exchanged to an aquarium in Cleveland; Destiny, an astigmatic (and marginally ditzy) whale shark; Bailey, a self-tormentor beluga whale, whose endeavors at echolocation are a portion of the film's most clever

The movie then transitions to years later on Nemo’s first day of school. While ecstatic to meet his classmates, teacher, and the independence of going to school, Marlin ceases to let Nemo go smoothly due to his fear of losing his only son and the worry of his “lucky” fin (an injury acquired from the barracuda attack). After such trauma, Marlin is known to be “scared” of the ocean, filled with anxiety,

Archetypes are used in literature to portray a certain meaning, that helps create a better and more meaningful story. The archetypes used can be embedded in the characters, symbols, or even rituals involved in a story. These archetypes can help give deeper meaning to the story by giving a underlying reference to concepts that are used over and over again in literature throughout history. When an author uses an archetype in his or her writing, they link it to many other stories that use that same archetype. Some do this for a reason, to give an underlying meaning, to symbolized something of importance, or even just to make their story more interesting. Many readers may not notice the underlying archetype, but sometimes the author uses them because he or she knows that the reader will.
