Reviewing Character Archetypes

In class over the past two days we reviewed the definition of allusion, and learned that archetypes are literary patterns that readers of literature understand and recognize. The top three sources of these allusions are the Bible, Mythology and Shakespeare.  We also identified archetypal symbols and character archetypes.  Find an original (from your own outside reading or assigned reading in high school) an example of each of the following character types in literature: 1.An underdog  2. An outcast  3. A Vampire . 4. A seductress 5. A Hero Who Goes on A Quest . 6. A Christ Figure. For each, write a brief explanation 2-3 sentences in which you identify how the character satisfies that archetype.
2. Select a song that samples another song or is a cover of a song. Download and bring in both songs.  Be ready to share and analyze in class on Wednesday.
