What do each of the characters or ARCHETYPES represent in society? (Sierra, Robbie, Lazaro, Manny, Lucera)- Shadowshaper

The Hero-a figure, often larger than life, whose search for identity and/or fulfillment results in his or her destruction (often accompanied by the destruction of society in general). The Scapegoat- an innocent character on whom a situation is blamed—or who assumes the blame for a situation—and is punished in place of the truly guilty party, thus removing the guilt from the culprit and from society. The Loner or Outcast- a character who is separated from (or separates him or herself from) society due to either an impairment or an advantage that sets this character apart from others. Often, the Hero is an outcast at some point in his or her story.The Villain- the male or female personification of evil. While nearly all works of literature include an antagonist to provide conflict with the protagonist, not all antagonists are villains.The Temptress- the female who possesses what the male desires and uses his desire (either intentionally or unintentionally) as a means to his ultimate destruction. Examples are Eve, Juliet, Lady Macbeth. The EarthMother/ Goddess- Mother Nature, Mother Earth—the nurturing, life-giving aspect of femininity.The Spirit/Intellect- the often-unidentified feminine inspiration for works of art and literature. Examples would be Dante’s Beatrice, Shakespeare’s Dark Lady, etc.The Sage- largely of Eastern origin, the sage is the elderly wise man, the teacher or mentor. Examples from Western literature would be Merlin and Tiresias.
