When we meet new people we usually first judge them by look. If they seem nice or interesting we are pretty excited to meet them. If they look sad or different from general moral rules we rather stay away. Judging anybody just after how he/she looks or even after first impression is not a good way because people are more than face and outfit. They can look weird but in the same time they can be the best match for you as a friend and even as a partner. We should always look for what is inside, willing to “meet” their character and what is common with character we can know their archetype. Knowing particular archetype we can understand person better. We will know why person behave in that and not different way. Also what can we expected after that person, what is she/he able to do for us, for others, how she/he treats other people etc. It’s very helpful to be even better friend.
According to psychologist Dr. Carol Pearson and her Personal Archetypal System which consists 12 archetypes I am Explorer. Going deeper explorer archetype has subtypes which are more specific. From four subtypes my one is a wanderer/seeker. In general I like to explore on my own. I like to discover places which nobody else is going to do. I am a little loner trying to do everything in my ways sometimes against everybody else. I am independent, I don’t need to other people approve what I’m doing or what I want to do. I will do it anyway somehow. Not rarely I’m taking risk with decisions about my life. If I have a problem I always try to find solution which is the best according to me (meaning for me). I like to thinking about psychology side of human being. This let me know myself better. Sometimes its just wasting time about thinking so much. I wish I could be more spontaneous, to just live present day. Also I isolate little from society. I am not so much willing to meet new people. They usually have to start conversation with me if they want to know me.
One of the most famous book of British writer Neil Gaiman is “Coraline”. Title is also a name of the main character. She is small girl and she experience big adventure just after moved to new house with her parents. On the beginning of the story we can see that Coraline even she is a child she is pretty brave girl wants to explore new places. Its seems like she is already explorer archetype but in her is still child so also orphan archetype. When she moved it was still summer and still couple of days till go to school. Coraline was bored. Even she did all things which her parents proposed her she was still feeling bored. She met her neighbours Miss Spink and Miss Forcible and this old man with rats. They paid attention but not for so long. After a while she discovered secret door in drawing room. She bothered her mom that long that she went there with her daughter and unlock the door using very old key she found in the kitchen. Mrs. Jones showed her that nothing is there but Coraline knew it’s not true. In next day she visited their neighbours who warned her to not go to this door because all she will meet is trouble. Bored Coraline did not listen. After her mother went to shopping she came to drawing room and decided to see what wait for her after the door. She went there and journey started. Where I see in Coraline explorer archetype? Almost everywhere. For example when she for the first time on the other side of the other world she wanted see everything from inside to outside. We can see that in Chapter 3 after she explored all room inside and visit her the other old man with rats she told him “I’m going outside to explore”. But real adventure started in Chapter 4 when she met talking cat. He was kind of guide in this world for her. Then she visited the other neighbour Miss Forcible and Miss Spink. However the flat was empty but finally she found them in one of the room which looked like stage. Then they forced Coraline to performed on the stage. “The little dog next to Coraline nudged her with it’s front paw(...)Coraline stood up, and walked up the wooden steps to the stage(...)She led Coraline over to a board by the side of the stage, and put a balloon on top of Coraline’s head”. Other example is when she was in real world she went to drawing room ans see that in the mirror are her missing parents. They couldn’t say anything but she saw that they were very unhappy (chapter 5) “In the mirror Coraline’s mother and father stared at her. Her father opened his mouth and said something, but she could hear nothing at all. Her mother breathed on the inside of the mirror glass, and quickly, before the fog faded, she wrote HELP US with the tip of her forefinger”. After that she came back to the other world, she wanted to find out where her parents are, why the other mother kidnapped them?, how she can save them and come back with them to the real world forever?
