Carl Jung developed a theory of archetypes made up of images and themes derived from our collective unconscious. He believed that these archetypes have universal meanings across cultures. He explored how they manifest in dreams, literature, art, and religion. Together they form a primitive past that influences the contemporary human psyche. Jung identified many archetypes but emphasized these four: the Self, the Persona, the Shadow and the Anima/Animus.
