“This essay is not about the film, as much as it is about Jungian archetypes. Feel free to incorporate anything else we covered in the first half of the semester :Mythology, comparatist if those ideas come up in viewing the film.
I know these films very well, so I do not want a synopsis. Instead, write about archetypal concepts and how those concepts relate to the film. What archetypes do the characters in the film represent? What do they tell you about the human psyche?

For instance, how is the shadow archetype represented and how does it operate? What is its relationship to other archetypes in the film, like the relationship between the hero (ego) and the villain (shadow)? If there is more than one shadow, or more than one hero, how do these character differ and why are they necessary.

Does the plot follow the hero’s journey perfectly or are there differences? If there are places where the plot veers away from the hero’s journey, what changes about the storyline or archetypes?”
