Homework: Answer the question "What is soul ?"

An archetype is a universal, inherited pattern or image that resides in the collective unconscious and shapes human experience, thought, and behavior. Archetypes are not learned but innate (i.e. DNA-encoded, prenatal-emergent) psychic structures—such as the Mother, the Hero, the Shadow, or the Self—that manifest through symbols, myths, dreams, and cultural expressions.  Archetypes guide psychological development and often appear during crises, transitions, or spiritual awakenings, serving as deep, organizing forces within the psyche.

Borrowed from Latin anima (“a current of air, wind, air, breath, the vital principle, life, soul”), sometimes equivalent to animus (“mind”), both from Proto-Indo-European *h₂enh₁- (“to breathe, blow”); see animus. Cognate with Ancient Greek ἄνεμος (ánemos, “wind”), Old English anda (“anger, envy, zeal”).

Latin translation of the greek word PSYCHE.

The soul or animating principle of a living thing.

In Jungian psychology: Unconscious feminine aspect of the person.
