Annotated biblio 3

Summary
This reading just described the last archetypes in greater detail. The threshold guardian, herald, shapeshifter, shadow, ally and trickster are each broken down into their psychological and dramatic function of the story. Also, the various forms that these archetypes take in stories were discussed so we would have an example of each.
Reaction
I thought the reading was very interesting along with the others we've had similar to it. I keep being astounded by the simplicity of these archetypes provided by the author and the complexity of their use by just about every writer out there. I mean, almost every character from every story can be summed up by one of these categories in this book and to me that is pretty impressive.
Reflection
Well, just like all the other vogler readings so far it was just an extension of the hero's journey. This last group of archetypes was discussed for further evaluation of this idea of a overcoming an obstacle in a "hero's journey". I don't know what else to say, I dont have just one connection to this material I think we all have a lot of them because pretty much every story we have heard we can somehow relate some of those characters and plots to that of this book.

Which archetype of all we've discussed do you see yourself relating closest to?
What's a story you know which seems to have all of these characters portrayed in it?
What connection do you have with this reading?
