Images
• * These can be symbolic in representation but are archetypal images because they reoccur
– The special weapon– The cave– The monster– The chalice or cup– The box or chest
Why do these archetypes exist?
• They are simply patterns of life– Women CAN cause men problems– Life IS a journey that teaches us things– Those that weld special weapons ARE
powerful
Time does not change these simple truths and literature continues to use them to tell our stories.
