1. An Introduction to Literary Archetypes Identify the symbols you see here:

2. Key Intellectual Figures: From Freud to Campbell Sigmund Freud (AKA “The Father of Psychology”): 1865-1939 Carl “I Don’t Look Very” Jung (The founder of Analytical Psychology): 1875- 1961 http://www.clipartgallery.com/p eople/historical/historical1.html / http://www.clipartgallery.com/people/historical /historical2.html Joseph Campbell (I bet you thoroughly enjoyed reading my “The Question of Meaning” this week!): 1904-1987

3. As I brilliantly stated in my 1923 book, The Ego and the Id: “…the ego represents what may be called reason and common sense….” “…the super-ego retains the … influence of authority…in the form of conscience or perhaps of an unconscious sense of guilt…” (Freud The Ego and the Id). Another great read is my 1933 New Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis, in which I explained: “ [The id] is the dark, inaccessible part of our personality… striving to bring about the satisfaction of the instinctual needs….” Id Superego Ego Freud was the first person to offer a systematic method of studying the unconscious mind. Below is a chart of the human psyche according to Freud:

4. In my aforementioned book of 1923, The Ego and the Id, I also claimed that “In a healthy person… the ego is the strongest so that it can satisfy the needs of the id, not upset the superego, and still take into consideration the reality of every situation. Not an easy job by any means, but if the id gets too strong, impulses and self gratification take over the person's life. If the superego becomes to strong, the person would be driven by rigid morals, would be judgmental and unbending in his or her interactions with the world.” Freud on Mental Health: You need to know this only as it pertains to Jung’s work on the human psyche, and, simply, as an educated person. It’s not on the test though!

5. Jung’s Revises Freud’s Concept of the Psyche: My brain’s better! It recognized the complexity of the human psyche! You’ll find that the most important part of this diagram as it relates to archetypes is the collective unconscious. Collective Unconscious Anima/Animus Shadow Subconscious Memories Persona Ego

6. Explaining Jung’s Psyche: Collective Unconscious Anima/Animus Shadow Subconscious Memories Persona Ego Consciousness The Ego = our true outer selves; consciousness The Persona = the person we present ourselves as to conceal our true natures

7. Explaining Jung’s Psyche: Collective Unconscious Anima/Animus Shadow Subconscious Memories Persona Ego Personal Unconsciousness Subconscious Memories = suppressed and forgotten memories—these can resurface in the consciousness through involuntary memory The Shadow = consists of repressed animal instincts The Anima (for men)/Animus (for women) = our true inner selves as opposed to our persona

8. Explaining Jung’s Psyche: Collective Unconscious Anima/Animus Shadow Subconscious Memories Persona Ego Collective Unconsciousness The subconscious awareness of human experiences that predates the individual--our species shares this knowledge

9. Why the Collective Unconsciousness is Important: To protect innocent new sophomores from my dense prose, I’ll let their lovely English teacher explain this in her own words… The primary pieces of knowledge we share as part of our collective unconscious are called ARCHETYPES! This is why we see the same symbols and characters and situations in the literature from all over the world.

10. Archetypal Symbols… Just think about how many stories you’ve read that use flowers as symbols of beauty and hope… From: http://clipart.disneysites.com/http://clipart.disneysites.com/ http://clipart.disneysites.com/display.php?catID=48

12. Archetypal Situations… From: http://clipart.disneysites.com/imgFullSize2.php?linkID=361 From: http://clipart.disneysites.com/imgFullSize2.php?linkID=19 How could you forget the archetypal Hero’s journey which I wrote about so extensively in my 1949 book, The Hero with a Thousand Faces? I know you wrote a whole essay about it in the 9 th grade !

13. Therefore, we can learn more about humanity and authors’ specific purposes through the study of literary archetypes! Due ___________: 1.Read through your “Literary Archetypes” packet 2. Read “Peach Boy” and annotate it by marking. all of your observations directly on the paper— focus on identifying as many archetypes as you can; return prepared to discuss it.
