Character Archetypes in Mythology

This week we’re crossing the threshold and embarking on a journey through the timeless world of character archetypes.
Have you ever wondered why certain characters resonate so deeply with us? Why we find ourselves rooting for the hero, delighted by the trickster, or guided by the mentor? It’s no coincidence that these types of characters appear time and time again. They very often form the backbone of ancient stories and myths that have shaped human consciousness for centuries.
Appreciating the function of these archetypes can transform our understanding of characters, whether you’re an actor, writer, or simply a lover of stories.
In this episode, we unpack each of the archetypes, giving examples, and find out how we can spot them, not just in our favourite plays, movies and tv shows but also in the people around us, in our daily life.
