WE ARE DELVING C.G. JUNG'S concept of the archetype, which our text defines as "identical psychic structures comment to all," and that archetypes "give rise to similar thoughts, images, mythologems, feelings, and ideas in people, irrespective of their class, creed, race, geographical location, or historical epoch." How do we see these emerging in Tita's life, in Like Water for Chocolate?
