What human nature is (thought patters, behaviors etc. ,) Serve as cognitive templates (not just ways in which we behave but also think. In order to understand archetypes, we need to look in ways that they projected in everyday experiences. Names he gave to them reflect way instinct is projected. Tendency to see human tendencies as heroic deeds. Material that was in conscious that we don"t need to think about right now. Repressed material - don"t want to think about it. Complex: collection of memories, thoughts that are relevant to particular theme tincts think) Empty at first because its where the leftovers of our conscious waking life will be stored. Archetype: instinct for social conformity; desire to please others. Projected onto personal experiences and in dream imagery (projection of archetypes biggest thing for jung)
