ARCHETYPLE HEROS

In literature, the term archetype refers to a pattern or model of an action, a character
type, or an image that recurs enough in life and literature to be considered universal.
Medival heroes and modern ones share many characteristics; however, their approaches to
dangers are quite different.
First, the medival hero is thought to be brave. He goes out questing in search to set bad
to good, rescue damsels in distress, and instore the chivalric code Might for Right.
Next, the hero is often aided by the supernatural. He has the use of magical powers,
wizardly weapons, and unearthly people. Sometimes in these stories, the supernatural
being such as wizards, psychics, aurgers, and dwarves becomes the heros mentor or
advisor. Finally, the hero does not deal with ordinary people. Usually he is serving or
rescuing kings, queens, nobles, or other knights. However, the medival hero under the
code of chivalry practices morality and other religious practices. The medival hero is
often a symbol of good versus evil. He is highly honored but very humble. Finally
referring back to the chivalric code, the medival hero does not go whacking away but
instead uses his might for right.
Like the medival hero, the modern hero James Bond is considered brave. He is sent out on
dangerous missions rescuing women and innocent people, recovering top secret information,
and stopping the villian. Next, he is aided by technology. James Bond uses state of the
art, high tech gadgets and weapons to assist him on his missions. Also he is aided by
many technological geniuses such as Q and Felix. Finally, James Bond does not deal with
normal people. He is usually saving the world from a wealthy madman, serving the Queen of
England, and rescuing rich and famous women. However, James Bond follows the code of the
government. Under this code, there is no required practice of religion or morality. In
all of his movies, James engages in sexual intercourse numerous times. James Bond is also
thought more of a sex symbol. He is a young, strong handsome man that most everyone wants
to be like. Last, James Bond is licensed to kill. This means he can kill whoever gets in
his way and most of the time he does.
