Reading 3.7a: Contrast the major literary forms, techniques, and characteristics…

An archetype is a situation, character, or image that appears again and again in literature and art. Example: the symbol of the four seasons

(spring, summer, autumn, and winter) are archetypes that appear over and over again in literature. What do the seasons

represent in art/literature? Can you think of other

archetypes?

Try to figure out what these other common symbols or “archetypes” represent: The Joker Sunrise Princess Leia The color red A blind, wise old man A mountain top A main character’s dream

In The Epic of Gilgamesh and other ancient tales, we see a reoccurring archetype: a flood that wipes out the human race.

Keep in mind that the Gilgamesh Epic was written far before the Bible and the cultures that wrote each story likely did not have any knowledge of one another.

Why would both include a story of a flood that destroys the human race? What would be the symbolism or deeper meaning/purpose of a flood story?

Let’s read “Noah and the Flood” in the textbook.

Homework: Fill out the first column of the Flood chart.
