Archetype An archetype is an original or fundamental imaginative pattern that is repeated through the ages. An archetype can be a plot, an event, a character, a setting, or an object.

Can you think of several movies that have the same plot?

Literary Focus: Mood Mood– the overall feeling or atmosphere of a story, play, or poem– may be the most difficult literary element to define. After all, mood is intangible; you can’t point to mood in a text It’s all about feeling

In order to identify a story’s mood, start with the setting. Pay close attention to the details of time and place, and ask yourself how the setting makes you feel. Look carefully at the writer’s word choice. –For example: is a tree rotting or budding? Then, consider the plot –Does it end happily, or does is present a bitter or tragic outlook on life?

The mood of most stories can be identified with one or two adjectives: –Gloomy, romantic, threatening, and so on Remember that even though you may sense several moods in some stories, one dominate feeling will usually prevail. –humor in the midst of horror, for example
