The Lover Archetype
Don't be misled by the name; it's not just about romance. The
Lover archetype encapsulates all types of love — parental,
familial, friendships, spiritual, and romantic. The Lover wants
to have close relationships, achieve intimacy, feel special, and
make others feel special, too. The Lover is passionate and
unashamed in fostering relationship and expressing
appreciation.
The king archetype in the shadow can also become the mad king
who becomes psychotic and turns on his own people. His
unpredictability breeds fear in the populace. On the other side is the
weakling king who hides behind the throne (i.e. his position or title)
afraid to confront his adversaries in court or on the battlefield. In
the Game of Thrones series, Joffrey and Tommen Baratheon are
perfect examples of the tyrant and weakling.
The Joker Archetype
The Joker is a fun-loving character who seeks the now,
inviting others to partake in creating a self-depreciating
form of satire.
