This study guide covers archetypes (recurring character patterns like the Hero, Mentor, and Villain) and contrasts (juxtaposition of elements like characters or themes). It explains their importance in literature, provides examples from Metamorphosis and Moby Dick, and offers practice questions for analyzing their function in texts. The guide emphasizes understanding the purpose and impact of archetypes and contrasts, not just identification, to prepare for exam questions.
