Archetypal Patterns In Fairy Tales by Marie-Louise von Franz
A psychological study of traditional fairy tales that reads them as symbolic expressions of unconscious processes, identifying recurring archetypal figures and motifs—such as the hero’s journey, the anima/animus, the shadow, sibling rivalry, and initiatory transformations—and showing how these patterns map stages of individual development and collective psychic dynamics; the work combines close readings of many tales with Jungian concepts and comparative motifs to argue that fairy stories encode pathways to psychological integration and mirror universal structures of the human psyche.
