Literary Analysis Little Miss Sunshine - 2310 Words

Peyton Miller Mr. Rosenast AP Literature and Composition, 5 15 December 2014 In literature an archetype is used as a character, image or theme that exemplifies a universal meaning or a simple human experience. For this occasion the archetype is referring to a journey. The conventional stages of the archetypal journey are departure, initiation, testing one’s ability, descending into the underworld, and then returning and reintegrating with society. One example of the archetypal journey is in the novel As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner. In the novel the Bundren family undertakes a quest from their home in Yoknapatawpha County to Jefferson in pursuance of burying their mother/ wife, Addie. Along the way this family endures numerous hurdles that they must overcome. Their journey resembles that of an archetypal journey with a departure, journey and arrival. Along with the novel As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner, the film Little Miss Sunshine shares the same archetypal pattern. The film Little Miss Sunshine is an effective contemporary int erpretation of an archetypal journey because of its events, characters and symbols that are similar to those in the novel As I Lay Dying. The motion picture Little Miss Sunshine is an effective contemporary integration of an archetypal journey because of its events. An archetypal journey in the film starts off with a departure and an initiation.
