  2. Tam and Cam

  3. Carl JungArchetypes—Collective Unconscious

  4. Archetypal Criticism • Operates under the assumption that great literary works are not merely clever or well written, but partake in the universal. That is why they last.

  5. Archetypal Criticism • The universal refers to how no matter what age you lived in, what culture you are from, what your gender is, how old you are, you have a similar reaction to the text as someone vastly different from you had. • Tries to root out, how that literary work partakes in the universal

  6. Universal Literary Works • Look for recurring images, motifs, themes that occur not just in that text but have appeared in texts throughout the world and throughout time. • These images, motifs, themes are called ARCHETYPES

  7. Collective Unconscious • Mind is not born as a tabula rasa (clean slate) • Mind has pre-established forms of behaviors—mind has instincts (like a chick being afraid of a hawk) • We have instincts to respond to archetypes in certain ways

  10. What is your response to this image?

  11. Archetypal Criticism • What archetype did the author use? How did that enhance the meaning of the message?

  12. The Lottery Discussion • What seems to have been the original purpose of the lottery? What do people believe about it? • What is the irony of the tone of this story? • Is it morally justified? Is tradition sufficient justification for such actions? How would you respond to cultures that are different from ours that perform "strange" rituals? • Why has Jackson chosen common people—like you and me, and a time period close to ours for her characters and setting?

  13. Poster • In the center, write the Title and your interpretation of the story. • Around the center, identify and draw three archetypes found in “The Lottery” • Write an explanation: • Complete sentences • Explains meaning of archetype • Connects meaning to interpretation, showing how archetype is used to create message
