Question

What character would be the best example of an archetype? A. A giant reptile-like creature that terrorized the city. B. A football coach whose team dislikes him. C. Faye, a nurse who hates to give shots to patients. D. Howard, a cowboy who wants to join the circus

Answer 1

A

The concept of a godzilla-like character is very archetypal. Archetypes are common or typical versions of the person or thing. For C and D, those are very unique and uncommon situations. Although B can happen, it still isn't typical.

Answer 2

It would be A. since archetype means a character that is very typical of that role. I mean, when you say a giant reptile-like creature, you just think of godzilla and destruction, so terrorizing a city would be very typical of a character like that.
