Examples Of Mythological Lenss In Brave New World

Archetypes are expected examples of a person, action, or thing. In The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon, there are two archetypes I will discuss. The first archetype is the hero archetype, best portrayed by Christopher, the main character in the book. The second archetype is the evil figure with a good heart, best portrayed by Christopher’s dad, Ed Boone.

In this world these objects take place and create security. “Every twenty seconds or so, the transmitter would send out a sharp noise to keep people like George from taking an unfair advantage of their brains.” From the text we are provided with information about how George can’t take advantage of his brain with the handicap radio. If handicap is a circumstance that makes progress or success difficult, that then makes the radio something that keeps people from their advantages. By this the government can take total control over the people that can cause a threat. Without the securities of these objects too keep the equality in the world, it would be to much for the government to handle. Leading back to my claim this evidence would cause danger of total equality. When something like the radio, mask, or handicap bags are taken too far as an advantage, the the government would have took total control over the people. By having the possession of a skill or talent, that then means it would cause a break of equality that would get in the way of government's goal of total equality. With that said taking over the people is an example of too much power. Power, the ability to direct or influence behavior of others would then cause the people to be more equal than they already are. Continuing on this path would cause the people to have less of a personality than what they have, without a drop of diversity it will be a danger of total

Character Archetypes are varieties of human beings who possess certain qualities, based on their ambitions, fears, and ways of life.

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.

     An archetype is a universal symbol. It is also a term from the criticism that accepts Jung’s idea of recurring patterns of situation, character, or symbol existing universally and instinctively in the collective unconscious of man.

Archetypes are defined as “a typical character, an action or a situation that seems to represent such universal patterns of human nature.” (“Archetype”) The short story “On the Rainy River” by Tim O’Brien is about the internal struggle and the journey he faces after he is drafted to serve the army. The classical hero’s journey archetype is similar to Tim O’Brien’s journey in his short story, “On the Rainy River,” with the exception of the arc length and depth of transformation.

The first archetype shown is the hero, portrayed by Guy Montag. Guy works as a fireman in the dystopian society. He always lived his life the way society wanted him to, until he met his new neighbor, Clarisse. The first sign of

An archetype is a model or ideal example in which other things are patterned. There are many archetypes that could represent many characters; but for my character, Haley Kincain, the caregiver archetype represents her the best. Haley represents a caregiver due to constantly caring for her father and his Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, along with helping her friends with problems like divorce and bullying. I found her to be pragmatic, considerate and patient throughout the book.

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.

In “The Yellow Sweater” by Hugh Garner, the two main characters, Tom and Marie, are character archetypes. Tom is the perverted businessman, in his 40’s with wisps of grey in his hair and a stubble beard. Furthermore Marie is the young and innocent girl; frail, naive and pretty. While Tom is perverted and sick, Marie is innocent and naive. Moreover Tom is old and fat while Marie is young and thin. Lastly Tom is a businessman and analytical while Marie is a hitchhiker, a nomad. These archetypes of the perverted businessman and the young innocent girl enforce the contrast between Tom and Marie.

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

Archetypal approach is defined as a type of approach that focuses on the interpretation of texts or other literature based on recurring patterns and other universal models including symbols, images etc. It is one of most important form of liteary critisisum; it is frequently evident in almost all types of liteary records that follows a common theme or a trend from the past. I used archetypal approach to analyze and evaluate the famous disney movie Cinderella. Throughout the movie,I found some common resemblances to other stories such as Sleeping Beauty and Beauty and the Beast. Similarities include the “lived happily ever after” ending which is recurrent and familiar to us through many other disney movies,the common theme of the villain competing

     Each character has a special role in the novel; Kurtz and Marlow are the most important, through these two characters we are able to see how good and evil balance each other out. Marlow?s journey into the heart of darkness can also be seen as a journey into his own soul. He was in search of the darkest of objects, the ivory. Unlike Kurtz, Marlow was able to withstand the darkness from controlling him. Kurtz soul became the darkness and caused him to forget everything else there was to life. His last words were not that of love but rather of hate, ?The horrors the horrors.?

The formulation of the archetypes is described as an empirically derived concept, like that of the atom; it is a concept based not only on medical evidence but on observations of mythical, religious and literary phenomena, these archetypes are considered to be primordial images, spontaneous products of the psyche which do not reflect any physical process, but are reflected in them (Jung 54).

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.
