02.04 - Jung's Archetypes

We started today's class with a review of yesterdays discussion. Then we discussed the examples that people had written down for the "anima" and "mother" archetypes covered yesterday.

Next, we finished reading about Jung's archetypes and then looked at the list of archetypes on the last page and went through the list identifying and discussing different examples of these archetypes from stories that people knew (i.e. Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, "The Legend of Zelda," comic books, etc).

Next, we read a version of the Snow White story paying particular attention to specific aspects of the story and noting what their symbolic value was. We will then focus on how the symbolism of these aspects advance the plot of the story.

Handouts:
Introduction to Archetypes and Jung 
Snow White Archetype Practice


Homework:

Re-read the Snow White story and take note of what you think the different archetypes represent.

If you have not done so already, finish your one page response regarding the message in Regina Spektor's song "Samson".
