An archetype is a symbol recognized by everybody around the world. Archetypes come from within us, and they speak through us. People learn to recognize archetypes at a very young age. People learn to recognize archetypes a very young age unconsciously, They are almost born within us. A psychologist who has studied archetypes said that humans have a psychic disposition and that we recognize archetypes unconsciously.
There are many types of archetypes within us and they are featured in a wide variety of books and movies. One type of archetype known as the shadow archetype was featured in the famous book and movie known as Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban. The shadow archetype exploits a persons fear but allows them to be stronger. In the movie and book there fears are shown to them in the form that will not hurt them. They use these fears to practice fighting them. When the time comes, the main character, Harry Potter uses what he has learned from his fear and is able to fight away the dementor and survive. Even if we are scared of the shadow archetype which is the fear within us, still gives us strength.
