    Both Ms. Strangeworth from “The Possibility of Evil” and Captain Torres from “Lather and Nothing Else” represent the villain archetype; however, Miss Strangeworth better represents it because she enjoys the evil she causes, whereas Captain Torres does not. First of all, the roles of the characters are shown as villains throughout both of the stories. In the case of Miss Strangeworth, it is when she sends her malicious messages to the town without regard for their feelings (Jackson 5). Meanwhile, Captain Torres is revealed as the villain when the barber remembers “...the sight of the mutilated bodies kept me from noticing the man who had directed it all” (Tellez 1) about the captain. The two of them do horrible things to their respective towns; Miss Strangeworth, by sending her…

    Throughout history, myths and stories have been around to help define the way that people and things react with one another in certain situations. These relations create patterns that help to explain why people do similar actions to those of faraway lands that have a completely different lifestyle. These are represented through many stories throughout cultures all across the world. These patterns that we develop are called archetypes. An archetype is defined as “a typical character, an action or a situation that seems to represent such universal patterns of human nature” (Taylor 3). According to the psychologist Carl Jung, mankind possesses a “collective unconscious” that contains these archetypes and these are common to all of humanity. Archetypal…
