Archetypes are useful in literature because they are easily recognized and convey a lot of information. Archetypes are the characters in the story or a situation in the story that are the typical ones and are easily recognized by the readers because they convey a universal pattern. For example: A hero: is the character who is known to display goodness and fight against evil.
