Common Archetypes

Moving beyond the epic hero

Female Characters• The Trouble maker• The Temptress• The Damsel in Distress• The Earth-mother• The Wise Old Crone

The Other characters• The outcast• The sidekick• The village idiot• The innocent• The devil• The mentor• And of course THE HERO

Plot Cycles• The journey• The mission• The rescue• Star-crossed lovers• Boy chases girl

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.
