    Archetypes of "Romeo and Juliet"

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Can anyone give me some (at least 3)archetypes in the play "Romeo and Juliet"?

    P.S.--I know the star-crossed lovers are the Archetypal characters, but I am not sure how to explain it.....please help!!

    * besides Archetypal criticism, what literature criticisms can apply in "Romeo and Juliet"?

    In or of. If you are looking at of, take a look at Shakespeare's sources, and also look at West Side Story and other derivative works. If you are looking for archetypes inside the story, take a look at the hero and heroine, as well as Paris.
