Answer:

Archetypal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Metaphors are referred to as the words that represent a comparison between two objects that may not necessarily be alike in order to suggest or exemplify an analogy or likeness between them or something that is common. Archetypal metaphors(Michel Osborn) are prominent in rhetoric and includes the comparisons that resonate/echo across culture and time which is grounded in fundamental aspects of human experiences and motivations like "war and peace", "the cycle of seasons", "light and darkness", etc.
