An archetype is a universally known symbol, something that most people will see and get a general feeling. One example of a shadow archetype is a forest, many people will be able to look at a forest and get an erie or dark feeling. In the movie Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs, the shadow archetype is used as a forest. Snow White gets lost in the forest and it brings out her fears. Without the forest the story would have changed, because if she did not get lost she would not have found the seven dwarfs. Archetypes give a story feeling and makes it relatable to most people's lives.
Archetypes bring together a story and makes it relatable to most people. An archetype has a way of giving a certain emotion to a person. Most stories have to have archetypes,like they have to go through the twelve steps of a hero. Without the archetypes people may not be able to get the same feeling or relate to the story.
