​Archetypes explained by Carl Jung

​Four main archetypes—

1. the persona,

2. the shadow,

3. the anima or animus

4. the self.

   These are a result of collective, shared ancestral memories that may persist in art, literature and religion but aren’t obvious to the eye. These recurring themes help us understand the Jungian archetypes.
