Universality and Cultural Archetypes

Five common archetypes are the hero/heroine, the damsel, the villain, the faithful companion, and the mentor. Think about your favorite movie, television show, video game, or story, and describe a character that fits one of the five common archetypes listed above. Then, in your journal, create an illustration of that character. Below your illustration, write three to four sentences explaining what characteristics that character possesses causing him or her to be an ideal example of that particular archetype. If you need assistance on writing a journal entry, please visit the Developmental Module for more information.

Once you have completed your journal entry, please save it with a file name of mod2top1_archetype and submit it to the journal dropbox.
