The Role of the Trickster and Other Archetypes
Manage episode 433161789 series 2996633
Are we done with archetypes now? Almost!
There are just three more archetype chapters in Christopher Vogler's book, The Writer's Journey, and we have issues with two of them.
The Shadow feels more like a force than a character and anyone from a legit supporting actor to unnamed gofer can be labeled an Ally. The one archetype we did like was the Trickster, whose actions and words can bring much needed chaos to your story. They all make for great discussions in this episode.
For literary examples we turned to Howl's Moving Castle and The Witcher (books, video game, but NOT the show)
Remember, we have a Writers Process meetup every Wednesday. Check us out.
