According to VeryWellMind.com, the meaning of Carl Jung’s Archetypes is “Archetypes were a concept introduced by the Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, who believed that archetypes were models of people, behaviors, or personalities. Archetypes, he suggested, were inborn tendencies that play a role in influencing human behavior”. I will explain the archetypes of THE HUNGER GAMES SERIES.
THE HUNGER GAMES SERIES- ARCHETYPES Katniss Everdeen is portrayed as a rebel in The Hunger Games as she goes against what everyone believes and has believed to bring justice to everyone. Throughout the entire trilogy storyline, she rebels against The Capital and everything that President Snow stands for. She stands up against the games with Peeta when they both threaten to kill themselves instead of providing one victor from the games. The Mocking Jay Pin symbolizes life. When Prim gave Katniss the pin back, she told her the pin would protect her throughout the games. Katniss had first said this to Prim when she gave it to her before the Reaping. The pin would also symbolize unity. Mocking Jays could be summoned by a call when multiple would come to the scene.
Prim and Katniss had their own unity between themselves. The mentor in the Hunger Games is Haymitch Abernathy, a past Hunger Games victor. Haymitch is a mentor to Katniss and Peeta to help them get sponsors who will give them gifts to keep them alive during the games and he gives them helpful advice on how to survive in the harsh environment. Shadow – President Snow and the Capitol They created games to show dominance against the districts. They are the reason why the innocent children are being sent to fight to death and the citizens of the Capitol enjoy the show. Allies – Rue, Peter, Gale They accompany Katniss in her journey. Rue helps her to get rid of some of her enemies and Peter protects her.
Gale is a friend she has back home and he supports her.
