Archetypes Characters, Narrative & Mind |

Conclusion
Archetypes can be seen simply as families of consideration within our own minds. They can be seen as categories of character elements – basic building blocks of our psychologies that can be combined and assembled in a complex ways. They can be seen the foundations of our personalities and as stereotypes, wrapped in the obscurity of role, position and purpose.
In the end, archetypes are no more than convenient constructs with which to ensure the full compliment of human qualities are represented in a story and no less than avatars for the largest components of our hearts and minds.
