Blog Entry 7

The archetype that I found problematic was the Warrior. The basic characteristics of the Warrior is that they have a high level of discipline, courage, and honor. There many different kind of warriors that fall under the archetype. Such as Um Thurman in the movie Kill Bill when she goes on a killing spree in order to avenge her husbands death, or Kristen Stewart in Snow White and the Huntsman where Stewart takes on the Queen. Both of those examples were warriors but they were different because o their reason behind it, Uma Thurman's character wanted revenge and Kristen Stewart's character became a warrior because it was her only way out, she had no other choice to fight or the Queen would have no doubt killed her. The point where the Warrior archetype becomes problematic is when the warrior begins to kill any and everything in its path to achieve what they want.
