So im working on an archetypal criticism paper for my AP Literature class, and I need to analyze hamlet form an archetypal critic approach. Basically, I dont get how I do this, like am I supposed to just point out archetypes or what? I know this is a very complex/specialized question, so any help at all will be appreciated greatly.
Archetypal Analysis [HS senior paper] AP literature class
Yes, the first thing is to really enjoy studying the archetypes from whatever reading your teacher assigned. It's great! Are you looking at the work of Jung, or someone else?
Then, you can get ready to write by googling this:
hamlet character analysis
Finally, you need to have an approach -- something cool. You can argue that Hamlet is a cross between two archetypes, or you can argue some particular observation that comes to mind.
You WILL have an idea come to mind if you study the archetypes and then study the character analyses. Just start writing and organize it later.
