Abstract
The paper relates that Carl Jung might observe that Shakespeare's characters are not simply complex and psychologically multifaceted; they are also timeless archetypes. According to the paper, Jungian archetypes are general, universal stereotypes that reflect all of human consciousness and experience. The paper examines Shakespeare's use of archetypical characters in "Hamlet" by analyzing the characters of Gertrude, Polonius, Ophelia, Laertes, Claudius, Fortinbras and Hamlet.

From the Paper
"It has become a cliche that William Shakespeare is a timeless playwright. His stories are still read and performed today. But why is this the case, given that his plotlines are often quite simple, and authored by others, long before Shakespeare put pen to paper (such as "Romeo and Juliet" and "Julius Caesar"). His plays themselves have become so familiar there is no longer any suspense as to whether Claudius 'really' killed Old Hamlet. The reason for Shakespeare's durability is his complex, yet seemingly universally identifiable characters. The pioneer of psychoanalysis and the theorist of the collective unconsciousness Carl Jung might observe that Shakespeare's characters are not simply complex and psychologically multifaceted; they are also timeless archetypes."

Abstract
This essay discusses the archetype theory of Jung. The writer looks at some of the archetypes Jung proposes. The writer also discusses a book by Carol Pearson on this subject, which expands on six archetypes that she considers important in life: orphan, wanderer, warrior, altruist, innocent, magician.

From the Paper
"In his analysis of patients' dreams, Carl Jung recognized that the archetypal images which recurred could also be found in myths, legends and the art of ancient peoples and also in contemporary literature, art and religion. These archetypes help people connect with the Eternal and make mysteries more accessible by providing many images. In religion this is evidenced by the Catholic faith which distinguishes The Father The Son and The Holy Ghost and in Buddhism in which the one Buddha is divisible into then then facets .."

Abstract
This paper explores the psychosexual conflict between the hero archetype and feminine archetype in a group of Stevens' poems and underscores how that conflict supplements or surprises customary readings. It focuses on the poet-hero as the central figure of sexual polarity, distinct from biography and contemporary critical approaches, and thus humanizes many abstract stick-figures.

From the Paper
"One of the constructive ways to get at the abstractions and ambiguities in the poetry of Wallace Stevens is to reify the diverse speakers of his poems as a single protagonist-an archetype of the poet-and to treat this meta-Stevens as the psychosexual hero of his own poems. Archetypes and archetypal patterns abound in poetry, but it is plain that in Stevens more than in other modern poets the primary conflict beneath the surface of many of his poems is a conflict between male and females archetypes, and the poet-hero's self-protective ambivalence between creation and procreation as competitors. Stevens invites this archetypal reading because the female figures in his work, young and old, are archetypal sketches or women without biographies. To analyze the poet-hero's psychosexual interaction with these figures turns conventional interpretations of Stevens' poetry on their head and uncovers fresh and comprehensible vantage points on his work."

Abstract
A comparison of the heroic attributes of Odysseus and Indiana Jones, a classical and a modern depiction of archetypes in narrative.

From the Paper
"Shawn Wittmier has observed that the heroic archetype in modern myth is one that is a fairly set pattern. In order to have a successful heroic figure, the tale must follow these lines. These lines have the effect of shaping archetypal heroism whatever culture the heroism springs from. That suggests that they can be applied equally to ancient and modern heroes, that the mythical, archetypal hero of the past is essentially the same as today. In the ancient..."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the Jungian hero-leader archetype in "The Epic of Gilgamesh", "The Tempest" by William Shakespeare, and "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe. It explains how by understanding the collective unconscious within Prospero, Gilgamesh, and Okonkwo, the universal truth behind the tragic flaws that define their hero-leader personas is realized. The writer further discusses the basis of the unconscious excess of the hero archetype as part of major literary history of human behavior. In the conclusion, the writer suggests that, by evaluating how Jung's hero-leader archetype exists within the unconscious mind, one can realize the depth of the hero archetype that is found within the annals of literary tradition.

From the Paper
"These three heroic leaders often bring forth examples of Jungian archetype of heroism and valor in their leadership, but at crucial moments they misguided choices that doom them to failure. For the characters Prospero, Gilgamesh, and Okonkwo, the Jungian archetype of the industrious hero-leader often entails the tragic flaw of naivety and rash behavior that lead to their downfall. In essence, a Jungian archetypal analysis of these three characters will be brought forth in relation to the tragic leaders that reside within these classic literary tales of excess."

Abstract
This paper examines the use archetypes of ghosts and premonitions in Toni Morrison's "Beloved." It shows the influence of Dr. Carl Yung, and how the human psyche is easily manipulated. It explores the context and background of the story and how the use of archetypes plays into the character traits and storyline.

From the paper:

"'Dreaming men are haunted men,' wrote Stephen St. Vincent Benet, and the characters in Toni Morrison's 'Beloved' might well agree with the poet's statement. Of course, most of us are dreamers, and we therefore might well posit that we are haunted by dreams. What sets each of us apart is the things we dream about ? and so the things that we are haunted by. Our dreams ? our hauntings ? are specific to our own lives, our own experiences. But they may also be far more general than we suppose them to be, the result of what psychologist Carl Jung would call archetypes, a term made generally popular by Joseph Campbell in his exploration of commonalities that he discovered in the myths, religions, and arts of what are in many ways widely divergent cultures."

Abstract
In this paper, the mythological heroic archetype of Frodo in The Fellowship of the Ring has been analyzed through a humanistic perspective. Frodo is archetypal hero that is reluctant, yet he is able to have the faith to overcome the terrible obstacles of being the ring-bearer. The experiential humanism of Frodo's heroism is founded on the mental, physical, and spiritual struggles that he must endure to overcome his adversaries.

The writer discusses that in this manner, the basis of the unconscious excess of the hero archetype is part of major literary history of human behavior, which Jung defines within his belief in age-old archetypal personalities that arise within the human psyche.

Abstract
This paper delves into Carl Gustav Jung's creation of the archetype and its significance to psychology and literature. It compares Jung's ideas to those of Freud, Northrop Frye and Umberto Eco. Also, primary and secondary sources are used to show the importance of the archetype and its relationship to myths and symbols.

From the Paper
"In the world of psychology, Carl Gustav Jung is known to have introduced some truly groundbreaking ideas about the nature of the unconscious. These ideas have become integral to the history of literary criticism as well. Interestingly, this legendary figure was once a part of Sigmund Freud's school of psychoanalysis (Richter 504). However, Jung eventually distanced himself from Freud's ideas and began what he called the field of analytic psychology (different from Freud's psychoanalytic theory) (Richter 504). With analytic psychology, Jung was able to explore different possibilities about the human unconscious that he otherwise couldn't have under Freud's tutelage; most notably, his idea of the archetypes found in the collective unconscious. It so happens that Jung's distinctive ideas have given rise to a wider range of psychological possibilities and ideas for one to consider, which ultimately aids in the quest for truth."

Abstract
This paper explores the application of the archetype through an examination of the character of Heathcliff from Emily Bronte's novel, "Wuthering Heights". In doing so, it is demonstrated that Heathcliff manifests many of the potentials for significance that connect him with a specific archetype, that of "the shadow". This connection is achieved through comparing and contrasting the character traits of Heathcliff against the book "Owning Your Own Shadow"
