What are Archetypes?

An archetype is a universal classification of specific people, settings, themes, symbols and places!
They are used to describe what specific role a person plays, the meaning behind the chosen setting/theme/places, and what the symbols represent.

These classifications are often very typical, hence the term universal. 
It is considered universal because these specific people, settings, themes, symbols, and places are the same elements we are familiar with, whether you recognize them from fables, fairy tales, novels, and/or films.

This blog focuses primarily on a single archetypal character - their actions, purpose, and representation.
