A Portrait of Frederick Clegg – Antisocial Traits in His Personality John Fowles’ The Collector is a book that stands out for various reasons. Not only it depicts two characters diametrically different from one another, but it also portrays them with such depth and psychological insight that it is hard to believe only one author has created such two plausible and conflicting protagonists. Another thing that attracts attention in The Collector is the overall character of Frederick Clegg and the…

In middle school I had always been infatuated with the Teen Vogue magazines. I loved looking at the latest fashion trends, hearing about the newest makeup products, and reading the recent interviews with A-List celebrities. Almost seven years later, I’m back looking at my old Teen Vogue magazines, realizing that many of the advertisements placed in the magazines aren’t necessarily appropriate for Teen Vogue’s target market- especially one in particular.

for and entered Sammy’s checkout station. Unbeknownst to him, this would lead to an unfortunate outcome. I could tell from reading this story how proud and lucky Sammy felt that the girls came to his register. The queen pulled money out from her bikini top. This was one of the moments that brought him over the edge. I believe Sammy felt he was about to ring up a goddess, a girl that lived her life the way she decided, not society. She could do no wrong. Because Sammy had already…

As asserted by psychologist Carl Jung, humans express their fears and desires through the use of archetypes which he defines as conscious manifestations of the collective unconscious part of the human psyche (Haslam 301).
