In Chapter 3, Andy Gurevich explores the idea of archetypes and the collective unconscious, particularly through Carl Jung’s theory that humans share universal images, symbols, and emotional responses across cultures and time. Choose one archetype (e.g., the hero, the wise old man, the flood, the underworld, etc.) discussed in the chapter or one you’ve encountered in a myth, story, or film.

How might understanding archetypes help you interpret the world around you, including your own experiences, career path, or field of study?
