Because archetypes are related to human nature and human experience, they appear everywhere, in stories told all over the world. In other words, they recur―they occur again and again, not just in one place but in all places and spaces. Archetypes recur across time―not just in ancient or traditional stories but in modern literature as well.

You probably won’t have to think too hard to identify the archetypes represented in these modern stories. Match the archetype to the story element from recent popular movies and television shows.
