Example of an archetype: Tragic Hero

Story where you will find that archetype: Hamlet.

First, remember what an archetype is: it is a type of character that is used in literature which is a recurring or universal symbol of human nature. These are characters that share similar traits throughout history. For example, a hero. The hero is an archetype and in each story a hero is found, his characteristics will be similar.

What makes Hamlet a tragic hero archetype is that this hero seeks to avenge the death of his father, who appeared as a ghost and asked him to avenge his death. Therefore his work is based on Hamlet seeking justice for this act, as if he were a hero. It is tragic since at one point Hamlet deviates from the path, killing any innocent and even to his own death.

An allusion refers to the fact of referring to an object outside a work of literature, whether real or not.

In Hamlet there is an allusion to Hercules, where Hamlet is describing himself:

“My father's brother, but no more like my father Than I to Hercules: within a month: Ere yet the salt of most unrighteous tears Had left the flushing in her galled eyes, She married. Or, most wicked speed, to post With such dexterity to incestuous sheets! It is not nor it cannot come to good: But break, my heart; for I must hold my tongue. ”

The meaning of this allusion is a vision of Hamlet's future. While he doesn't look as powerful as Hercules, in these lines he catches up with Claudio and compares him as inferior.
