The reason why writers still use Character archetypes is because they have been working since ancient times and still work.

think about it, you have probably heard of these character descriptions in every great book/story/movie.

Shapeshifter- the character that can change turn into something (AKA the werewolf and that pirate from the pirates of a Caribbean) or just go from good to evil or evil to good.

The Hero- no explanation needed

the trickster-A character for comic relief and to cause mischief

The guardians threshold- basically henchmen and stop the hero from moving on there journey

the Herald- the person/object that gets the hero to go on a journey

the mentor- the person that teaches the hero about the world. Also trains the hero

the shadow- the main villain that the hero has to defeat. 

Also there is the monomyth that is the story structure. But you just wanted to know about character archetypes. BTW what class is this in, (and the grade level), I have always been interested in this.

Match the literary subgenres to the related stories.<br> tragedy<br> fantasy<br> romance

Answer:

Your question is incomplete, but don't worry, I can be of help.

To be able to match a story to any of this subgenre, you'll have to first understand what they mean.

1. Tragedy: This is a type of drama that ends in sadness, grief, or death, or even all three.

To easily identify tragedy in a narration, you have to ask yourself, did this story end in "happily ever after?" Did it have a good ending? Did the main character die at the end? Did they reach their goal? These are important and useful ways to determine if a narration is tragic.

2. Fantasy: This has to do with supernatural happenings that can only occur in a fantasy world such as dragons, unicorns, talking dogs, etc. When you notice such details, it is most likely that such story is fantasy.

3. Romance: This was made popular by Shakespeare and is a well used subgenre. This can be easily identified if there is love between two or more people who are (usually) opposed by parents or other forces.

Please note that a narration can have more than one of such subgenre.
