 Archetypes
The observations my coauthors and I made are that there are recurring character types who have starred in story after story, entertaining and informing the human experience for millennia.
The skillful writer, in turn, conveys these instincts to the readers or audience, who, knowing at a glance the character of this hero, settles down to watch the tale retold anew.
What that means is that I don’t want you thinking you have to have four different archetypes because your character does four things that are what those four archetypes do.
