The look or expression of archetype  I searched for in the film Stardust was the Warrior. In its positive form the Warrior was represented by Tristan, his mother, and The guard at the Wall. Tristan represented the Warrior in its positive form by setting out on the journey to save Yvaine from the evil witches that have captured her. He goes out to rescue his damsel in distress. Throughout the movie Tristan transforms into  a Warrior, he learns how to fight from Captain Shakespeare and gains a sense of dignity and strength throughout the battles he had to fight in order to save Yvaine time and time again. Tristan's mother Una represents the Warrior archetype by how she sets out on a goal, a goal to save Yvaine from crossing the wall because she would turn into stardust. Lastly, the guard at the Wall, his job was to stop anyone from crossing the wall, and even though he failed at that and Tristan and his father crossed the wall, him fighting them so that they wouldn't showed a code of honor. The Warrior in it's negative form would be one of the Princes Septimus, he was ruthless and killed if people did not help him in achieving his goal to find the necklace. For example when he wanted to know something from the man who could not speak normally because the witch had taken away his voice and made him sound like a chicken, Septimus thought he was fooling with him, so he killed him. Another example would be when he killed the man with the magic rocks because he was actually helping his brother instead of him. Overall Septimus was a very ruthless Warrior, killing his brothers just so he could become the next king of Stormhold.
