"An archetype can refer to any image or pattern than is universal such as the idea of “home” or “war” for example. The Greek origin of the word “archetype” comes from the roots archē meaning “beginning or original” and typos meaning “pattern, model or type”. What is an archetype then? Simply put, an archetype is the original or first pattern from which all others are made of. In this case when asking “What is an archetype?” we are talking about human archetypes. These human archetypes contain within them patterns or codes of behavior" - Stacey Couch
