The term ''archetype'' is sometimes broadly and misleadingly used to refer to a Prototype , a Stereotype or an Epitome . It may thus indicate a type of person, e.g. a Mother , a Father , a Hero , a Warrior or a Martyr . LITERATURE Archetypes often appear in Literature . William Shakespeare , for example, is known for popularizing many archetypal characters. Although he based many of his characters on existing archetypes from Fable s and Myth s, Shakespeare's characters stand out as original by their contrast against a complex, social literary landscape. A Pastiche is an imitation of an archetype or prototype in order to pay Homage to the original creator. JUNGIAN ARCHETYPES |
