4 Carl Jung Background and Biography 1876-1961 Founded the idea of analytical psychology (opposed to the psychoanalytic theory of Freud) Dealt primarily with the idea of dream interpretation He worked with Sigmund Freud, but they went their separate ways in 1912. Jung did not think that everything had to do with a sexual connotation. Introduced the idea of the archetype as a concept of public discourse.

5 Archetype Archetypal analysis of a work is one of the most common forms of literary analysis. It is a universal theme that manifests itself differently on an individual basis. Jung believed that these archetypes were the result of a collective unconscious. This collective unconscious was not directly knowable and is a product of the shared experiences of our ancestors.
