Özet:

Works based on narration enclose the political, social, economic, and religious elements of the society to which they belong, undertake the function of carrying the knowledge and experience of the past to the present day, and have symbolic meanings that need to be analyzed using assorted methods. Archetypal symbolism, with a collective subliminal at its center, is one of the methods used to resolve literary works. Jung argues that archetypes are common structures seen in all humans and encompass all knowledge and experiences since the first man. Human beings are often unaware of the existence of this knowledge, which has accumulated over the centuries. A trigger is needed for these structures, which are in a neutral state, to act. Without this propulsion, archetypes cannot be comprehended. Folk stories are outcomes that contain the cultural background of the nations that created them and can continue to exist to the extent that they can be passed on to future generations. For centuries, minstrels have undertaken the task of transmitting verbal culture to future generations. Not only have they traveled around the land with their musical instruments and passed on their verbal cultural heritage to future generations, but they have made intensive efforts to preserve these outcomes. It is extremely substantial to evaluate the folk tales, which are the reshaped versions of the treasure of the minstrel tradition, from Dede Qorqut to Aşık Şenlik, through archetypes, which are the outcomes of the collective unconscious. In this study, Aşık Günay Yıldız's Story of "Hunter Mustafa and Şahnizer Queen" was evaluated on the basis of the great individual, shadow, persona, and anima/animus archetypes within the stages of separation-initiation and return mentioned by J. Campbell in his book "The Hero's Infinite Journey".
