Question

Answer 1

A correct answer is:

I agree that archetypes are specific to each culture, and the same object may have a very different symbolic meaning from culture to culture. In one culture an archetype may be a hero, while in another culture the archetype may be treated as a villain. It depends on the culture of the place.

Answer 2

An archetype can be characterized differently. It can be a statement or prototype, which other statements copy or emulate. According to many literary critics, archetypes have a standard depiction in a particular human culture that creates the base for the literary work. We can see from the definition that if there is an archetype in the context it means that the concept is going to be based on that. It cannot have different symbolic meanings.
