Step 2: Choose a Movie
Choose a movie with which you’re familiar (or which you can view again to extract needed information). Identify three characters from the movie that you can analyze as archetypes from the list in the Archetype Descriptions document. In other words, you should identify three separate characters from the movie, each of which you consider to be an example of a differentarchetype from the list of fourteen primary archetypes in the Archetype Descriptions document. For each of the three characters you analyze, there should be only one archetype assigned. (In some cases, characters in contemporary stories can seem to fit more than one archetype, but you must choose the one archetype that you think is most important in that character and talk only about that one). So, to repeat… three characters (not four or two or five, but three) with one — and only one — archetype for each character.
