| | Animus (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | The animus, according to psychiatrist Carl Jung, is the personification of the masculine nature in the feminine unconsciousness. |
 | | The animus, in its primary "unconscious" form, is a compound of spontaneous, unpremeditated opinions which exercise a powerful influence on the woman's emotional life, while the anima is similarly compounded of feelings which thereafter influence or distort the man's understanding-she turned his head. |
 | | Therefore, animus seems influential on intellectuals and heroes, including tenors, artists, sport celebrities, etc. The anima has a predilection for everything that is unconscious, dark, equivocal, and unrelated in woman, and also for her vanity, frigidity, helplessness, and so forth. |
