Carl Jung defined archetypes as primordial images that form part of the collective unconscious, like heroes, outcasts, and lovers. Northrop Frye's anatomy of criticism uses recurring archetypes and places different genres in a seasonal framework - comedy corresponds to spring, romance to summer, tragedy to autumn, and satire to winter. Archetypal criticism examines common archetypes like heroes, outcasts, and stock characters as well as symbols of nature, animals, plants, minerals, and water that frequently appear across works of literature.

It then provides examples of common archetypes like the hero, outcast, and star-crossed lovers. Finally, it outlines various archetypal symbols like the sun, water, numbers, seasons, and their typical comic and tragic meanings in literature.
Scarlet Letter
The Scarlet Letter is set in 17th century Puritan Boston. Hester Prynne commits adultery and gives birth to Pearl. She is forced to wear a scarlet "A" and is shunned by her community. Her missing husband Roger Chillingworth takes the name and seeks revenge on Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale, Hester's secret lover. Over seven years, Dimmesdale's guilt over the sin eats away at him until he makes a public confession and dies in Hester's arms. The novel examines themes of sin, identity, and the conflict between public conformity and private passion through its symbolic characters and motifs.

Instructions:
You will be writing an essay of 1,000 words or more about the following 2 poems.
Answer the questions below.
Begin your paper with an engaging introduction and clear thesis statement, develop each point in the body of your paper using examples and quotes from the poems, and conclude your paper with a restatement of your thesis and closing remarks. Also, make sure you maintain your credibility by including in-text citations and a reference list correctlyformatted in APA style.
1.Imagery: What visual images can you identify in both poems? Comment on the details you notice about objects, places, people, colors, textures and so forth. Which of your other senses are stimulated by the poets’ descriptions?
2.Figures of Speech: List the specific metaphors, similes, puns and other figures of speech each poet uses and how they contribute to the poem’s overall meaning. (Remember, figurative language is not literal but rather suggestive of something else. For example, the metaphor, “Jack is a pig,” is not a reference to an actual animal with hooves but rather someone named Jack who has pig-like qualities or mannerisms.)
3.Symbolism: Identify the symbols you notice in each poem. What abstract concepts (e.g., love, death, truth) might the concrete objects (e.g., persons, places, things) suggest?
4.Language and Word Choice: Every word in a poem has been included (or left out) after much deliberation, as poets choose their words very carefully. Remark on the following in each poem: Does the poet use informal or formal language? Does he or she write in an older dialect or contemporary English? Provide examples.
5.Tone: What tone does each poet take (e.g., sad, humorous, sarcastic, loving, etc.) toward his or her subject matter?
6.Themes: What are the main messages of both poems? Give reasons for your answers.
7.Sound: Read both poems aloud. What do you notice about their rhythms, rhyme schemes and musicality? How does listening to the sound of a poem differ from merely reading it as words on a page?
8.Final Thoughts: Poetry can enlighten and/or evoke deep emotion in readers. Express the impact each of the two poems you have analyzed for this assignment had on you. What insights did you gain about life or human nature, and what feelings did each piece stir in you? Has your view of poetry changed in any way since reading and analyzing the Phase 3 poems? Explain your answer.
