The superhero Green Arrow takes on many forms of archetypes. He takes the forms of the wise old man, hero, trickster, and the magician.

In Warcross there are a lot of characters and ways they fill their archetypes. But there is also ways they don't fill their archetypes. In this chapter I will tell you ways characters fill their archetypes and ways they don't.
One character that displays the traits of the hero archetype is Atticus Finch. He first acts as a hero archetype when he accepts Tom’s case, he says, “The only thing we’ve got is a black man’s word against the Ewells. The evidence boils down to you-did-I-didn’t”(Lee 117). In this situation, Atticus displays his sense of morality as he accepts this hopeless case because he believes Tom is innocent. In order to uphold his morals he defends Tom despite the risk to him and his family. This makes him a hero as he follows his own morals despite the odds. Another example of Atticus heroism is when he defends his children against a dog, Miss Maudie says, “but shooting is different from playing the piano or the like. I think maybe he put his gun down when he realized God had given him an unfair advantage over most living things”(Lee 130). In this instance Atticus is brave in his diffence of his children against a rabid dog. He sacrifices the
What “Arrow” does that is so unique and interesting, is flashback scenes. He got on a boat as a carefree, pretty boy billionaire and came back as trained killer. Throughout the seasons, the flashbacks help tell his story on the island and just who Oliver Queen really is. These flashbacks are very important to the show as they give information that is not only relevant to the past but also what is happening to him in the present, besides the fact that they are so just so fun to watch.

Arrow of God and Smoke Signals have comparable archetypes. “An Archetype is a recurrent, universal pattern that evokes a deep, emotional response in virtually all readers as it strikes a chord in their unconscious memory.” The plot structures within the two stories mirror one another. This hero sequence or plot is to be considered a universal archetype.
An archetype is described as a very typical example of a certain person or thing. Most archetypes are categorized and then given a mascot of sorts. In the short story Parker’s Back by Flannery O’Conner, we see many archetypes reveal themselves, such as sun, valley, apples, and lightning. Sun is described as hero, son of Heaven, knowledge, the divine eye, fire, life force, creative-guiding force, brightness, and splendor. Examples of this in the story appear when the main character, Parker, realizes his mortality after he is in a horrific accident.
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.
An archetype is a type of character found across multiple books and or movies. John Steinbeck wrote the novel Of Mice and Men. Within this novel, there is a character named Lennie Smalls. Lennie is a unique character because of his mental disability. Lennie has a best friend named George, who promises Lennie’s Aunt Clara that he would take care of Lennie when she passes away. Lennie is very strong and throughout the book it is shown how his disability and strength are used against him. Steinbeck’s character from Of Mice and Men, Lenny, is the typical example of an innocent archetype.
Archetypes are characteristics or characters that can define a hero. They can be villains, scapegoats, damsels in distress, and the hero themself . The Odyssey is the perfect story for examples of archetypes seeing as it has so many of them.
Archetypes are in every movie, book, tv show, and so on. An Archetype is a typical character, an action, or a situation that seems to represent universal patterns of human nature. There are many different archetypes in the movie The Princess Bride. Westley is a great example of the chief archetype. The chief archetype is known and born to be a leader.
So what makes a hero? What must a person have to be considered a hero? Is it his or her strength, powers, courage, morals, integrity, or knowledge? According to Joseph Campbell, a hero properly is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than himself or other than himself. So with the help of Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey theory, evidence will be given to prove why the Flash is a hero, and not a cold hearted villain like Captain Cold.
Arrow is about a rich, promiscuous young man named Oliver Queen, who becomes stranded on an island for five years before finally being rescued. After his return, Queen becomes a vigilante trying to protect his city, Starling City, against the corrupt businessmen that live there. Before being able to properly assess Queen from a psychological point of view, we must understand his character before, during, and after his accident. Queen suffered from many terrible psychological problems during his five years "alone" on an "abandoned" island and after finally returning home.
In the book, Victor cares about a lot of things. He cares about his family, Elizabeth, humanity, and himself. Every time Victor does something, it’s for one or more of those four things. He creates the monster for humanity so that he can cure diseases. He cares about his family every day. He may not always show it, like when he let the maid be killed to save himself, but he really does do what he can for them whenever he can do it. Sometimes it can be difficult to see that Victor is a caring person, but he cares about his family and humanity.
"A hero is someone who does something for other people. He does something that other men don 't ' and can 't do." How does heroism play an essential role in the narrative?
It also shows heros care for others shown in sociocentrism instead of being egocentric. This means that a hero is more concerned about others instead of having egocentrism and only caring for their own wants. Heroes tone down the evil in the world by being taking more action and caring for other people instead of themselves.
What does make a hero a hero? Is it there looks? Alternatively, maybe is it their personality? However, the question is what are those essential qualities that make one a hero? Different people require different heroes to look up to or try to emulate. However, whoever it may be, they all possess certain qualities. My hero is my mother, for the reason that she is selfless, compassion, and courage. That kind of selflessness can often be premeditated, since concentrating on others' needs often winds up helping one accomplish one’s own goals. However, a heroic leader does so without any anticipation of a return. The display and concern show the care one has for others. This can often apparent itself in strong but gentle actions planned to increase the lives of others. Courage and bravery come to mind first when we think of heroism. However, it is difficult to achieve anything truly heroic unless one is up against overwhelming chances. As Nelson Mandela put it, "Courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it." These minor acts of heroism rarely attract any notice. A true hero is always sympathetic, benevolent and shows a great deal of compassion and sympathy to those poorly or in agony. He or she keeps away judgements; that are oriented to the self and embraces an attitude that serves others.
