An archetype is a universally understood symbol or pattern upon which others are copied, patterned, or emulated. In psychology, an archetype is a model of a person, personality, or behavior, while in philosophy, especially with Plato, it refers to the ideal form of the objects. Archetypes are often used in myths and storytelling across different cultures.
