Secondary Archetypes in Your Life

Who's yo' Earth Mutha?

Now that you know all about secondary character archetypes, it is time to apply this knowledge to your own life.  For this journal prompt, I want you to take five of the eleven character archetypes and write about the people in your life who fit these descriptions.

Who is your Wise Old Man?  Who is your Earth Mother?  Do you have a Brother/Sister relationship in your life?  Maybe a Fatal Man or Woman (those high school relationships can brutal!).  Who is your Anti-Hero - your villain?  What about the Monster, Trickster, Maiden, or Father archetypes?  Explain your reasoning behind each choice, illustrating why these people fit each archetype!

Obviously, you are the Hero in your own life, so the Hero figure doesn't count as one of your five, but feel free to post about yourself on your blog this week!  Have fun with this journal prompt!  I expect some amazing work on your blogs - pictures included!
