What is an archetype?
Archetypos (Gr) = “original pattern”
In literature: A recurring image, character, or pattern of circumstances that is thought to be universal.
(in other words = a universal motif)

“First-Molded” (Greek)
Genesis 2:7: God made Adam out of “dust from the ground.”
Humans = “in God’s image”
Plato = Ideal Forms
ἀρχέτυπος, Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, A Greek-English Lexicon, on Perseus

Plato’s allegory of the cave
We are prisoners chained in a cave, looking at a wall
Everything we see = just shadow of the true (original) FORM
Archetype = IDEAL FORM

Back to dreams
Jung’s “Collective Unconsciousness” = dream/memory/instinct part of mind that ALL people share
Reflects common ARCHETYPES: universal Images / ideas
Example: Arthur’s Dream

Situational Archetype = quest
Quest = search/pursuit
In Arthurian romance: search/expedition to achieve a goal
Goal has deeper moral significance
