Abstract
The writer of this paper details the historical filled plot of the 1990 film "Dances with Wolves." This paper also examines the daily life of the Indians as seen in the film who are depicted as living a peaceful existence with no real threat of attack from the white man. While the film portrays many conventional elements of the western genre, at the same time it obliterates the requisite stereotypes which generally permeate these types of films.
From the Paper
"As the film sends us back and forth through time, and switches between the Indians and the searching soldiers, we are able to learn John's story at the exact pace that director and star Kevin Costner wants us to. The beginning of the film immediately shows the soldiers involved in what seems to be a meaningless confrontation that no one is able to resolve until John Dunbar, out of sheer anxiety, sets off the action. The commanding officer at Fort Hayes is the stereotypical power hungry official we've become so accustomed to seeing in westerns and war movies, and it is from this point that we begin to understand just what John Dunbar is facing at Fort Sedgewick."

"Dances With Wolves" and the Social Penetration Theory, 2005.
This paper uses the social penetration theory to analyze "Dances With Wolves", the novel written by Michael Blake and the film directed by Kevin Costner.

Abstract
This paper explains that Irwin Altman and Dalmas Taylor's social penetration theory suggests as relationships grow deeper as self-disclosure deepens and uses social exchange theory, also called the game theory, to analyze the cost-reward balance of these self-disclosures. The author points out that "Dancing With Wolves" provides excellent examples of how totally different cultures can both attract and repel one another, how friendships and trust are formed by deeds not just words and how different intersecting strata of social and cultural lives either repel or attract one another. The paper relates that it teaches that the differences among people tend to be created without truly being aware of one another and can be resolved as those "onion skin" layers are removed revealing our true inner personalities.
From the Paper
"There are many examples of initial encounters in "Dances With Wolves", and the manner of the meeting does not always provide the result of closeness, of course. What makes the novel so fascinating is the contact, verbal and non-verbal that links the white man with the Comanche, and prepares him for a life he had never known or understood before. Was it simply loneliness or necessity that brought these encounters to fruition? Is social penetration merely a theory that evolves as social circumstances change? Are we different, socially, today, than were the people in the post-Civil War era covered by this novel?"

From the Paper
"Jung's collaborative work, "Man and his Symbols", examines man's relationship to his own unconscious and the symbols found within. Jung believes that our unconscious communicates with us through dreams; dreams that are as individualized as we are. Thus the interpretation of dreams, is entirely personal and individual. Throughout this book, dreams are treated as direct, personal, and meaningful communications that while interpreted personally by the individual, they are also expressed through a symbolism that is common to all mankind. Jung concluded that the forms which the archetypal experience takes in each individual may be infinite in their variations, but like alchemical symbols, religious symbols, literature and art motifs, and mythical symbols, they are all variants of certain central types and they occur universally in basic motifs and themes that are only seen differently because each group, society, or culture has its own particular symbols of expression, as does each individual.

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 describes three stories and how the Jungian archetype influences the story. The paper first discusses the Walt Disney movie, "Song of the South", explaining how the Jungian father archetype can be found in the story because there is an absent father that is replaced by another father figure. Next the paper discusses the European children's tale, "Max and Moritz" which is a cautionary tale about what happens to children that grow up without a father. Lastly, the paper discusses the story of "Cinderella", explaining that it is representative of the the father-as-lover archetype.
From the Paper
"Historically, children's literature has always had a place in our lives. No matter how old we grow, we can relate many of our adult observations to the tales of our childhood. Having been fortunate to grow up in a family from two different cultures, I heard tales from old Europe from my Mother, and the rich tales of the southeastern United States from my Father. In considering Jung's theory of the archetype, there are three tales that come to mind. First, the movie "Song of The South", which tells stories of the South that my grandfather grew up in. Second, the tale of Max and Moritz, a cautionary tale for children told throughout Europe for hundreds of years. Finally, the classic "Cinderella" which, thanks to Disney, has become a favorite of all children born in the US in the last fifty years. These three tales all demonstrate the father archetype that Jung describes in "The Personal and the Collective Unconscious." These tales are classic examples of stories that appear in a variety of cultures, and all share a common thread- the absent father. Jung would have told us that the unconscious desire for someone to fill the archetypal role of father is at the root of all these tales. The absence of father theme in these three stories will show the human need for the archetypical father figure as nurturer, disciplinarian, and as lover."

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 discusses revisionist Westerns Kevin Costner's ?Dances with Wolves? (1990), a film sensitivity to cultural differences and to the importance of Native American culture and Thunderheart (Michael Apted, 1992), which enters a more modern Indian community. The author points out that Costner still made major errors in depicting the history and culture of the Lakota Sioux tribe portrayed in the film. The paper continues that ?Thunderheart? tried hard to elevate the Native American but a stereotype emerged in this film that the Native American is in some way a mystic more in touch with supernatural and spiritual forces than the non-Native population would be.
From the Paper
"The film did more than revive old stereotypes in new forms, though, and it fails in terms of its accuracy on a number of counts. One problem faced was to recreate the language of the Lakota dialect spoken by the Sioux tribes in the 1860s. The film producers hired Doris Leader Charge, a 60-year-old teacher at South Dakota's Sinte Gleska College and one of only a few thousand Sioux still fluent in Lakota. Leader Charge translated the script and served as a dialogue coach during production. She also played a small part in the film. However, as Seals points out, the men in the film generally speak Lakota in the feminine form, a result of having the script translated by a woman who did not make allowances for the differences. Seals states that a number of Indian leaders were angry about this error and found it maddening in a film that claimed to be authentic. Seals does note, though, that the film managed authenticity in other ways, such as the way the ruling elders' council was handled. The film was correct in its use of the Pipe, which is the sacred Canupa of White Buffalo Calf Maiden, who founded the buffalo culture nineteen generations ago. The Pipe Keeper and others asked that the film not depict the smoking of the pipe, but it does so just the same."

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
This paper explains that female characters in fairy tales are sometimes viewed as being helpless and innocent and at other times as being powerful. The author then summarizes and reviews Angela Carter's story, "The Company of Wolves", and relates that it embraces a new form of the commanding protagonist, who thwarts both man and wolf using her burgeoning sexuality. The paper underscores that Carter's protagonist , like some of the female characters in fairy tales, has "more power" than men because of her very presence as the hero of the story.

Introduction
The Company of Wolves
Conclusion
From the Paper
"A young man appears before the girl on the path, a metaphorical sheep in wolf's clothing. Innocently trusting appearances, the girl is attracted to his obvious good looks and his attempts to woo her. Arranging a race to her grandmother's house whereby, if he wins, he will obtain from her a kiss, the man departs. By the time he has reached grandmother's house - earlier than the girl - it is clear to the reader he is a werewolf, or a "wolf-man". As in Little Red Riding Hood, the youth tricks his way into the grandmother's home and eats her up, as it were."

Abstract
This paper explains that medieval women were rather powerful and revered members of the community and identifies a number of archetypes: mother, wife, home builder, Lady (of the Knight), maiden, goddess, and temptress. The author points out that wives of knights and nobles were given powers similar to those of the men in their families, especially if the women had been placed in charge, in times of war. The paper relates that not all women were treated as equals, as presented in ?El Conde Lucanor? where, in this story, the woman is very much the man?s servant.
From the Paper
"What female archetypes appear in "La Celestina"? This play, by Fernando de Rojas, deals with the eternal themes of forbidden love, honor, and death. There are many female archetypes present in this play: in Elicia and Parmeno, and in we have examples of women as temptresses, as they tempt their co-servants, Sempronio and Areusa, to sleep with them. The dialogue between, and surrounding, these couples, is written in such a way that we, as readers, are forced to enter in to the belief that the men could not help but be seduced, at the hands of these ?evil? temptresses."
