Excellent job on your analysis, there were a lot of interesting points made. However, I believe an archetypal lens best suits this poem because it factors in the ending, characters, and themes. At the end of the poem, the Grinch relinquishes all the stolen goods because he is touched by the spirit of Christmas. Within a Marxist context, the Grinch was stealing in order to abolish the class structure, and to sustain himself.…
In our society, there are thousands of sheep roaming the earth, trying to decide who to follow and what to believe, when in actuality the answer is themselves. Throughout the novel, The Solitaire Mystery, many different themes, ideas, and archetypes are explored in a variety of ways. One of the more prominent archetypes is God or a higher power.

In this case, they are the jokers in our society, who are represented by Hans Thomas, his father, and the joker/midget from the magical island. Jostein…

Both Ms. Strangeworth from “The Possibility of Evil” and Captain Torres from “Lather and Nothing Else” represent the villain archetype; however, Miss Strangeworth better represents it because she enjoys the evil she causes, whereas Captain Torres does not. First of all, the roles of the characters are shown as villains throughout both of the stories. In the case of Miss Strangeworth, it is when she sends her malicious messages to the town without regard for their feelings (Jackson 5). Meanwhile, Captain Torres is revealed as the villain when the barber remembers “...the sight of the mutilated bodies kept me from noticing the man who had directed it all” (Tellez 1) about the captain.

Understanding how the average male works is often an overdone case of discussion, but there is a particular archetype that I find perplexing. That of course is the average metal head, the rocker, or the mosh pitter. These guys will go into concerts running on only what I can assume is pizza and energy drink with the amount of energy they have. The concert starts, the music is blaring, and the song does not even have to be quickly place, but they will start slamming into each other. Everyone slowly forms a circle so that the standard concertgoer is not harmed, but if they are in the pit, there is no guarantee. At least five guys will just slam in to each other and the outskirts of people in the circle will enjoyable help them do so by pushing…
Throughout history, myths and stories have been around to help define the way that people and things react with one another in certain situations. These relations create patterns that help to explain why people do similar actions to those of faraway lands that have a completely different lifestyle.

An archetype is defined as “a typical character, an action or a situation that seems to represent such universal patterns of human nature” (Taylor 3). According to the psychologist Carl Jung, mankind possesses a “collective unconscious” that contains these archetypes and these are common to all of humanity. Archetypal…
It is common for authors to make a character who portrays the idea of a good person and then turn it into a mean and heartless character. This is to make people interested in the character and the changes the character goes through. This happens so often that it is becoming an archetype. This archetype has become more common in books, films and TV shows because it develops interest in the audience. Thus, apocalyptic fiction always includes a character archetype of the "good guy who needs to be bad".…

Additionally, stereotyping a person with regard to their educational background can be profoundly consequential. In fact, even the most powerful men and women in the world have been victims of a stereotype at some point in their lives. Among these people is the former chairman of Microsoft, Bill Gates. Gates dropped out of college at the age of 20, two years after enrolling in it. The image that is painted in a person’s mind when he hears about college dropouts is influenced by a stereotype. The person then perceives college dropouts as tattooed, pant-sagging, chain-smoking, moronic students who are careless about their education, making a big mistake in their lives by choosing to drop out of college. This stereotype led to Gates being viewed as a failure by his society. Computer programming companies rejected Gates, who was nicknamed the “college reject” by his society. In spite of having his parents’ support, Gates was still a victim of this educational stereotype; it led him into doubting himself and what he was capable of. Nevertheless, Gates persevered in his field of interest. With a lot of hard work and the support of his parents, Gates was able to design an operating system for a computer that would change the world, lead him to success, and earn him the title “Harvard’s most successful dropout.” Moreover, the new operating system dominated the computing industry, which in turn, put all the computing companies out of business. People who assume the college dropout stereotype to be true fail to realize that the stereotype projects an illusion. In reality, college dropouts are not necessarily foolish individuals. According to an article in the New York Times magazine, written by Henry Levin and published on the 25th of January 2012, 30% of students in college dropout due to poor financial affairs. Also, these statistics include students with GPAs of up to 3.82. The list of college dropouts…
