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.

Cerrena [4.2K]

From the beginning to the end of "The bet" the lawyer A. comes to believe that material wealth and possessions are a curse rather than a blessing.

He has become a wise man through fifteen years of studying, but he even despise this, as well as other terrenal possessions, as he states in this excerpt: "It is all worthless, fleeting, illusory, and deceptive, like a mirage. You may be proud, wise, and fine, but death will wipe you off the face of the earth as though you were no more than mice burrowing under the floor, and your posterity, your history, your immortal geniuses will burn or freeze together with the earthly globe."

It should be noted that the different structures of the texts were important in communicating to the audience and give information regarding the tragedies.

<h3>Structures in the texts.</h3>

A literary structure simply means the organization of the elements that are in a text or passage such as the plot, themes, characters, etc.

In Address to the Nation on the Explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger", the president gave a speech that was vital to soothing the nation in a difficult time.

The purpose of the speech was to comfort the families who suffered tragic losses in the Challenger Disaster. In this case, a compassionate tone was used to allow the audience and the people who lost someone in the accident to know that he was thinking about them. .

Also, the theme of "A night to remember" is that people should not think that the unthinkable cannot happen. People should be prepared for the worse. It depicted the story about the Titanic and how it sank.
