The most important aspect of literature is UNIVERSAL SYMBOLS!
Archetypes are universal symbols – images, characters, motifs, or patterns that recur in myths, oral traditions, songs, and literature.
Assumptions:
Certain images recur in texts from diverse cultures that share a common interpretation – water, the sun, the garden, the desert.
Certain characters recur – the hero, the trickster, the villain, the damsel in distress.
Certain motifs and patterns recur – creation stories, quest stories, voyage to the underworld stories, rags to riches stories.
