  1. Archetypes Language Arts – Grade 12 March 20th, 2013

  2. Objectives • Standard 1, Objective 3, Section B • Use vocabulary and text elements and structures to comprehend Joseph Conrad’s novella, Heart of Darkness. • Comprehend and compare culturally and historically significant archetypes. • Analyze archetypes in works from a variety of cultures and historical periods (e.g., the questing hero, the trickster, the anti-hero, the superhero).

  3. Introduction • Researchers, such as Carl Jung, have been able to collect and compare myths, legends, and religions of cultures from all around the world. • They discovered that for centuries, people who had NO contact with each other had passed down stories through generations that were similar to the stories of other cultures. • For example, there are hero/villain myths from ancient Greece that have similar constructs to stories from the Navajo tribes. • The basic elements of these stories are called ARCHETYPES.

  4. What is an archetype? • An archetype is a character, action, or situation that is a prototype (or pattern) of human life. • A situation that occurs over and over again in literature • Archetypes can be: • Characters: The Hero • Settings: The Wilderness • Quests: Attempt to overcome evil

  16. Interview Your Archetype ~ Portfolio Assignment ~ Imagine the archetype you chose is sitting in a chair across from you. What kind of questions would you like to ask that archetype? How do you think it would respond? Allow the archetype to respond, the answers coming from the deepest levels of your own intuition. Or simply ask yourself, and wait for the answer to come to you.

  17. Interview Your Archetype ~ Portfolio Assignment ~ Here’s the assignment - Decide between these three: • Write a letter to your archetype asking questions. Then write a response letter from the archetype. When writing the response you should consider with what voice that archetype would respond, would it be the same as your voice? • Write a dialogue between you and your archetype as if you were conducting an interview. Once again, pay attention to voice. Would you archetype respond to the questions the same way you would? • Grab a blank body template. Draw a line down the middle of the body. Use your artistic skills and draw yourself as you see in the mirror on one side and the vision of your chosen archetype on the other side. Use the questions on the next slide to fuel your drawing.

  18. Interview Your Archetype ~ Portfolio Assignment ~ Here’s some example questions you can use to get started (remember to phrase the questions as interview questions to your archetype): • What events or personal characteristics led me to choose this archetype? • How long has this archetypal pattern been a part of my life? • What role has this archetype played for me? • Which prominent people have interacted with this archetype? (For instance, if it's the Teacher archetype, think of the people who have played important roles in your own education or inspired you to be a teacher to others.) • What relationship might it have to my personal unfinished business - to those people I haven't forgiven, or to events in the past that I can't let go of? And might this archetype now help me in healing those situations? • What myths, fairy tales, or spiritual stories that have meaning for me do I associate with this archetype? • Has this archetype appeared in my dreams? • Does thinking of this archetype make me feel empowered or disempowered?
