Depth Psychology: The Basis for Archetypal Analysis:
We are applying a psychological approach to movies and stories called "Archetypal Analysis." This involves looking for symbols in works that transcend culture and time.
However to really understand where archetypes derive from, one must understand the underlying theories of Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung regarding the collective unconscious.

ARCHETYPES OF THE QUEST IN SIR GAWAIN AND THE GREEN KNIGHT.
An Archetypal Analysis of Finding Nemo
by Alan
The story begins with Marlin, the clown fish. He is rather insecure, The story starts with him in the midst of an idyllic life – an expectant father, loving wife, in the home of their dreams. When nature intervenes, and his dreams are shattered, Marlin becomes cynical, paranoid and over protective about the one connection he has left to his former life: his son, Nemo.
Marlin is a loving and caring father, that can be consider a hero and/or mentor, to his son, but his over protective tendencies lead to tragedy when, him and his son have a disagreement, Nemo is captured by humans. And so when Marlin’s quest begins, it becomes not only a journey to find his lost son, but it also becomes a journey of transformation.
The character of Dory (A blue fish Marlin runs into,and a loyal companion) doesn't just help and complement Marlin, Marlin also helps and complements Dory. They have a perfect relationship, the two characters represent the yin and the yang. With Marlin around, Dory finds a purpose and even her biggest “flaw,” her short term memory loss, is diminished by Marlin’s presence. So their journey becomes one.
Marlin and Dory face with challenges that are designed to provide action or excitement (or humor), but also to be learning experiences. Crush (sea turtle) gives advise to marlin about how to raise his son. Crush becomes a mentor to marlin. It is in this way that Marlin begins to learn to lighten up, trust in the help of others, and above all believe in the best that life has to offer. When they enter into the center of the abyss, which is a sunken ship. They find three sharks living in it.
Bruce (shark) and his two minions are at first the evil figures, creatures of nightmare, and the ruling parasites,but they are ultimately good at the end.
Nemo also has his own journey, trials, and his own mentor. After being caught and placed in a fish tank, Nemo is adopted by the group of fish, who also inhabit the tank. Nemo faced an initiation ritual that required him to pass certain tasks. Nemo learns about his own abilities to face challenges and overcome them.
Nemo has his own evil figures, a girl named Darla who terrorizes the fish tank he is in. Darla is known for killing a fish evey time she comes to the dentist. Nemo outsmarts her and all of the other fishes get away and back into the water.
When Dory is captured by a tuna net, Nemo quickly figures out how to save her, using his experiences in the fish tank to help him. Marlin, hesitant to let his son undertake a dangerous plan to save Dory, finally realizes just what it means to sometimes “let go” and he lets his son carry out the plan. This is the final barrier that the characters must face before they can go home.
