Anima and animus

The obvious difference is that the anima, although residing in men, is the female archetype, and the animus is the male archetype in women. Another difference is how their specific characteristics are viewed in the public eye. The anima, or male archetype, displays reason, social insensitivity, and logic. The animus, or female archetype, shows vanity, emotionality, irrationality, and intuition. Interestingly, their characteristic appearance is similar to that of cultural gender stereotypes. Some similarities of the anima and animus is that both have the capability to be constructive or destructive. Finally, they both are typically projected onto real-life objects, such as one’s lover (Ryckman,…

week. The first picture we saw was the same picture as the last time, the drawing in which a guy who was overprotected by his mother drew. The picture was the same, but what I felt from the picture was slightly different. I saw something I didnʻt see the last time. Today, I saw the faceless figure and felt a creepy feeling because if I had to draw a person(especially my family member), I would draw a face definitely. However, his drawing did not have a face. From this, I felt like he was…

or “masculine” side. There are other words for those. They’re called Anima, and Animus. And I’m going talk about the Anima The way Jung put it was that Anima is the embodiment of feminine psychological tendencies in a man’s collective unconscious. Or another way to put it is the female aspect of a man’s psyche and represent his true self, and the femininity of one’s soul. This would be things such as moods, vague feelings, and the need for love. A man can’t be completely masculine, just as a…

Carl Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist who established the body of analytical psychology. He stated that every person has several personalities within oneself. Basically, we can look at one’s personality from four different categories, persona, shadow, anima/animus and archetypes. The easiest to recognize is persona. Persona is a social mask that we all show to the public. We change the roles in different situations in society. For instance, a student acts as an attentive respectful person who…

state of Josey Wales’ soul. The film begins in Missouri on the Wales family farm as Josey and his son plow the field. The act of plowing the field alludes to the connection and balance between Josey’s animus and anima. Josey is a farmer. He is grounded and knows who he is, thus, the sun illuminates Josey’s face, symbolizing the goodness and light in his soul. A farmer also serves “as the catalyst of the forces of regeneration and salvation, forces which join every beginning to every end,…

Another, lesser-known personification was Ankou, known in Breton mythology as well as in Cornish, Welsh and Norman folklore. Ankou appears in many tales gathered from oral tradition. As such his description does not always correspond from one tale to another. He is always described as a tall and thin figure clad in black Breton garments, sometimes with glowing eyes, wearing a large felt hat concealing his face, standing up in a creaking cart similar to the ones used during the Middle-Age to…

Jungian archetypes are the persona, shadow, anima, animu, great mother, wise old man, hero and self. “The side of personality that people show to the world is designed as the persona” (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013, p.111). The persona we each have is basically an identity which we wish to project to others. Some examples are the mask of an actor and the role of a father disciplining his child because he behaved badly. The persona is not the true reflection of our consciousness but rather an…

conscious awareness. As the ego attempts to negotiate its relationship (vis-à-vis the individual) with the world at large (e.g. our family, our community, our culture, and the larger world) it builds on certain archetypal images. For example, the persona represents the various, socio-culturally approved, faces (or masks) that the ego presents to the world. The shadow represents those repressed, or unlived, components that have been rejected by the ego due to socialization, and the anima/animus…
