What the Archetype wants, the archetype gets. Just watch any Disney movie. But do archetypes govern real life as well? That, I'm not so sure of. Are archetypes always stereotypes? How about the "damsel in distress"? That's a definite stereotype. Watch any movie or read any story.
So first of all what are archetypes? According to my Mythology class they are the subconscious forming in the conscious. In other words, archetypes mean something. A great writer knows archetypes and the "myth quest" to create a great story. But my question is; Do archetypes actually exist in real life?
