The warrior archetype 
This archetype is very much associated with the passage from boyhood to manhood. Warriors have massive amounts of physical strength, the ability to protect, defend, and fight for their rights. Warriors are also described as invincible and loyal. A warrior’s energy represents the height of physical power and toughness of their will and spirit. The warrior is unbreakable and a large part of the warrior archetype is to fight to the death.
I chose a picture from the movie 300. The 300 brave Spartans represent the warrior archetype perfectly. This movie was based off a story about 300 Spartans facing certain death while fighting for their rights and protecting their land and families. In the story, the Spartan children were sent out into the wild to live off of the nature and eat the wild animals they have killed wile protecting themselves. If they are able to return to their village after a certain amount of time they are said to be strong enough both mentally and physically, to stay and represent their people. This represents the passage from boyhood to manhood. As the story continues you find that the Spartans are a breed of pure warriors, made to fight for whatever they feel is right, and there is nothing more honorable to them then to die in battle. In this picture you notice the Spartans pushing and fighting back the Persian forces. They seem to be some type of invincible force that is not to be reckoned with, which is why I believe they resemble the warrior archetype so well.
I feel that I can relate to the warrior archetype in certain ways. I am a physically and mentally strong person with a great amount of heart. I am always the one to stick up for my own as well as my friends’ rights and honor. I tend to get into a lot of fights, both mentally and physically. I’m not sure whether they are drawn toward me or if I am drawn toward them but either way I am always proud of my decisions win or lose.
