Character Archetypes in the Mists of Avalon?
I’m looking for character Archetypes in the Mists of Avalon, particularly in the third book, the King Stag. It’s for a essay assignment and I’m really have a hard time finding any, besides Arthur. Thanks!
I graduated from Arcadia and this post is for giggles because if I survived 3.5 years of honours English, then you can too! (Dropped second semester sophomore Cordero but tested right back in for AP junior year when I found that 90% of kids in normal English are complete dunderheads.)
Shouldn’t be that hard to find archetypes in Mists (<3′d that book!), since many modern archetypes are based off medieval characters like these. Witch, knight, hero, trickster? Recommendation: Make a list of the main characters and what their actions make YOU think of. You don’t have to categorise them as by-the-book archetypes yet; just get a feel of the sort of people they are. Can’t help you much with details here, since I read the book three years ago.
Hypocritical of me to say, but don’t procrastinate! Things are more fun if you get them done on time!
