COMPARE THE ARCHETYPES OF UNREQUITED LOVE AND THE MAIDEN GODDESS IN GREAT EXPECTATIONS AND DAPHNE AND APOLLO.

Compare the Archetypes of Unrequited Love and the Maiden Goddess in Great Expectations and
Daphne and Apollo.
What do Great Expectations and the myth of "Daphne and Apollo" have in common when
comparing the archetypes of unrequited love and the maiden goddess? An archetype is a
symbol or idea present in the collective unconscious of all humans. The collective
Unconscious being the body of thought shared by all humans though not consciously. The
Psychoanalyst Carl Gustav Jung developed this idea. He was the first to introduce this
concept of archetype. The two archetypes in this essay are maiden goddess and unrequited
love. A definition of maiden goddess is a person who will not or cannot love. A
definition of unrequited love is love that is given but not returned for any number of
reasons. The two archetypes of maiden goddess and unrequited love are evident in both the
ancient myth "Daphne and Apollo" and Charles Dickens novel Great Expectations. 
The myth of "Daphne and Apollo" is about many things. In the myth, a nymph Clytie fell in
love with Apollo, the sun god, Apollo did not ever return her love. Apollo was in love
with Daphne, a daughter of a river god. Apollo fell deeply in love with Daphne, however
she did not return his love. She did not return his love for one reason. She vowed to
live an unmarried life like Artemis, the goddess of the hunt. She had felt no more love
for him than he had felt for Clytie. The myth has both archetypes appearing throughout
it, and has a strong meaning to its plot.
The archetypes of unrequited love and maiden goddess appear in this myth. Daphne is the
maiden goddess in this myth. The maiden goddess being someone who will not or cannot
love. Therefore, Daphne was the maiden goddess. She was a large influence on Daphne.
Daphne had vowed to live like Artemis -- so she would never love. Apollo was a recipient
of unrequited love. Unrequited love is love that is given but not returned. Apollo
experienced this because he loved Daphne, but she did not return his love. Daphne did not
love Apollo making her the maiden goddess. Apollo still loved Daphne, but she did not
love him. Therefore, Apollo experienced unrequited love. 
Many of the archetypes also appear in the novel By Charles Dickens, Great Expectations.
In Great Expectations, Miss Havisham was left by her Bridegroom and has had a hatred
towards men ever since. When Estella began to live with Miss Havisham, Miss Havisham
began to take her hatred of men through Estella. She taught Estella to be mean to men and
everyone who likes her. When Pip first saw Estella he began to like her, Estella faced
her hatred of men towards Pip. Pip had always loved Estella but she never loved him. This
highlights many of the archetypes that have been discussed in this essay. There are many
similarities between the myth of Daphne and Apollo and Great Expectations.

throughout her life. A maiden Goddess is someone, who can or will not love, that is what
Estella turned out to be. She influenced Estella. This forced Estella to not ever fall in
love with Pip. Pip had unrequited love for Estella. Unrequited love is love that is given
but not returned for any number of reasons. Pip began to like Estella ever since he saw
her for the first time. All throughout the time Pip has loved Estella, she has never
returned an ounce of his love. This is called unrequited love. Pip had unrequited love
for Estella. The archetypes Maiden Goddess and Unrequited love also appear in Great
Expectations. They appear throughout the story in a not so obvious way.

exist.
