Art is always an expression of the unconscious. By archetypal images, the artist addresses in addition to the conscious side also the unconscious side of the reader. For literature, this means the existence of two levels of text- a superficial one on which the conscious and deliberate act takes place, and a deeper, symbolic, expression of unconscious contents. According to Jungian theories of the archetype in literature, the choice of the archetype allows us to draw conclusions on the historical and social environment of the writer, because such images often have a compensatory nature.
