what are the qualities of archetypal characters

OpenStudy (anonymous):

An archetype is a prototype of a character - they appear repeatedly in myths and legends, and usually represent a larger concept. Examples are the wise old man or teacher that gives guidance, the hero, the trickster, the devil, etc. Think about what these characters have in common, and what they accomplish for the overall story. Hope that helps!
