Our Q & A Continues With Peter Arnold, Christian Fiction Suspense Thriller Author, "Armor of Light: A Trilogy Story" (NEW eBook Debuted, July 2, 2024)

Heaven's Doorway Press - Q & A (#29) with author, Peter Arnold:

Question: Peter, many fiction writers typically employ the use of "archetype profile character shaping" when they develop their books.   Is this a consideration, when developing your story arc in your books and screenplays?

"The famous psychologist, Carl Jung, was instrumental in identifying archetypes which can be visually descriptive with various kinds of human behavior.  Writers have embraced archetypes since the early days of Hollywood screenwriting to the current multi-billion dollar digital game industry with the creation of avatars.  Carol Pearson, has recently reexamined archetypes in her book, "What Stories Are You Living: Discover Your Archetypes - Transform Your Life."

"Let's explore the 'following updated' twelve archetypes for our readers so they can use them to identify their strongest affinity . . . it could also be a combination of several.  

The first one is THE IDEALIST who begins innocently, yet becomes wiser over time and wants to feel safe. The storyline that helps us feel secure urges faith in something beyond ourselves; a positive attitude and a desire to live in a virtuous moral way.

The second one is THE REALIST who also desires safety despite impacted by neglect, abandonment or abuse. They face conditions and bond with others who have suffered similar hardships while gaining life skills to prevent harm.

The third one is THE CAREGIVER who is aware of human vulnerability and how we all need at some point, comfort, compassion and care.  They are quick to notice others' needs and to do what they can to help.

The fourth one is THE WARRIOR who notices danger and quickly tries to identify who or what is causing it, then protects the vulnerable by eliminating the danger and perseveres to accomplish desired goals.

The fifth one is THE SEEKER who is motivated to leave a place, group, or mindset that feels oppressive or inauthentic.  They 'answer a clear call to adventure,' in an effort to find something better while in the process learns to enjoy the journey itself.

The sixth one is THE LOVER who is driven by 'eros,' following who and what we love. They then commit to loving them and help form beautiful experiences in mutually supportive communities.

Next time, we will conclude the remaining six "modern archetypes" by Carol Pearson.
