Origins:
- Pre-platonic and Platonic arche;
- C. G. Jung's Psychology of the Unconscious (1916);
- J. G. Frazer's The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and
Religion (2 vols., 1890, 3d ed., 12 vols., 1911-15).
Jung (1875-1961):
- myth (or "mythologem") - the
narrative expression, of "archetypes";
- archetypes - patterns of psychic energy originating
in the collective unconscious and finding their "most common and most
normal" manifestation in dreams.
Northrop Frye (1912-91):
- archetype - a primordial image, a part of the
collective unconscious, the psychic residue of numberless experiences of the
same kind; later - a literary occurrence per se, an exclusively intertextual
recurring phenomenon resembling a convention.
- rejection of Jung's collective consciousness in
literary interpretation.
