Abstract:

Today, each discipline constitutes a coherent whole itself and interacts with the different areas. It is seen that information and method exchanges are occurred along different disciplines. Each material used by any art is different. The literature that is one of these arts and uses the language as a material is originated to the very old times. At the beginning of the discipline of psychology gives a new perspective to the literature based on people. Methods that are used by both disciplines are intended to understand and to tell the human. The psychology science that is used in literature reviews is important since it includes the analysis of the work and the author. One of these analysis is the archetypal criticism method proposed by Carl Gustav Jung. Hero in literary works may exhibit both bright and dark appearance owing to the mask he wore against the environment “persona” face and press the “shadow” side. Any male hero can carry “animus” as the feminine side, and any female hero can exhibit “animus” as masculine side against the events. The archetypes such as trickster with cunning and cynical aspect, elderly wise with the wisdom and guidance, grandmother with fertility and abundance can be seen in the work.
