The archetypes, at first glance, might seem to be Jung's strangest idea. And yet they have proven to be very useful in the analysis of myths, fairy tales, literature in general, artistic symbolism, and religious exposition. They apparently capture
some of the basic "units" of our self-expression. Many people have suggested that there are only so many stories and characters in the world, and we just keep on rearranging the details.
What do you think about JungÃs theory of archetypes? Do you agree/disagree that part of our personality is composed of opposing forces that strive for balance and transcendence? Why or why not?
