Stereotype n. - a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or an idea of a particular type of person or thing. They are everywhere. Whether it be in media, literature, or familial conversations.

To define the character of someone is a tricky task. It is also difficult to define a character. Not only are we asking who is Atticus Finch but what characteristics make him who he is. These different definitions of the word character are a way to analyze real people and the people we find in fiction. Although Atticus Finch is just a figure of Harper Lee's imagination in her famous novel To Kill a Mockingbird, he is a character full of character. He possesses many attributes that set them…

certain tried and true characterization methods essential to any story: archetypes. Carl Jung first identified these universal archetypes and tropes prevalent in almost every story since The Odyssey. Jung believed that these archetypes existed in the psyches of human beings, which explains why people recognize archetypes so easily when hearing/reading a work of literature. However, as time went on, people noticed these archetypes and fictional works started to look indistinguishably similar.…

disposition, and actions. As Brontë begins her description of the story’s characters, she emphasizes select qualities about each of them and her depiction of the Duchess of Strathelleraye (Albion’s mother) reinforces the “angel of the house” archetype is a less than subtle way. Directly referring to her as an “earthly angel”, Brontë goes on to praise…

“Books and movies are like apples and oranges. They both are fruit, but taste completely different,” King should know having written many novels that are adapted to films. Both the novel The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian and screen play of the film Smoke Signals, written by Sherman Alexie, attempts to demolish the idea of an archetypal aboriginal person from a Native “Rez,” but the film addresses this in a more effective way. The film has a naïve Thomas and an indifferent Victor…

Stereotype’s Resistance to the Effects of Time Interactions between two drastically different cultures offer the potential to breed negative outcomes. When discussing these negative outcomes, stereotypes would be a prime example because a lack of effort in understanding another culture can produce conventional images. Considering this, Drew Hayden Taylor explores the stereotypes directed against native women in his play “Dead White Writer on the Floor”. In Taylor’s play, Pocahontas’ unique…

Everyone wakes up and does, to an extent, a daily routine. Whether it be to go to work, school, or some sort of mediocre activity that they do. Everyone also has something or someone that is always going to make more money than they do, or save more lives than we do.
