Abstract

Human personality is one of the most fascinating and widely studied fields of psychoanalysis in modern society. At the same time, its mysteries are, despite much research and analysis, still difficult to explain, as the human personality is a combination of innate and new-found characteristics of an individual, and as such, subject to deviations from established psychological models. Archetypes, which we inherit from our ancestors, are a part of the collective unconscious (unconscious psychological processes) and represent an integral part of human personality. Studies have identified and defined several types of archetypes, with different levels of development and means of passing between them. This Master's thesis discusses one of the most established and traditional archetypal figures, the Warrior archetype, and uses various scientific studies and findings to show its influence on literary characters in different literary periods, with the focus being on the characters in the novel Three Day Road by Joseph Boyden. The Warrior archetype is considered as one of the most intense and proactive in general; therefore, it is not surprising that people who relate to it are those who take initiative, take risks and actualise their goals or the goals of society. Various types of soldiers who apply their archetypal characteristics in combat situations are associated with the Warrior archetype. However, the Warrior archetype is not confined to traditional battlefields alone, as its influence can be traced in other, less lethal human social interactions and relations. These interactions, which are present throughout history, can be found in literary works, by which they gain a universal communicativeness and the possibility of being studied by future generations.

Secondary abstract:	Človeška osebnost je eno najbolj fascinantnih in obravnavanih področij psihoanalize v modernem svetu. Obenem so njene skrivnosti kljub številnim raziskavam in analizam še vedno nadvse težko razložljive, saj je človeška osebnost kot skupek različnih prirojenih in pridobljenih značilnosti stvar vsakega posameznika in kot taka podvržena raznoraznim odstopanjem od ustaljenih psiholoških modelov. Arhetipi, ki jih podedujemo od naših prednikov, nastopajo kot del kolektivno nezavednega (nezavednih psiholoških procesov) in s tem predstavljajo pomemben gradnik človeške osebnosti. Študije človeške osebnosti so pokazale in definirale več vrst arhetipov, z različnimi stopnjami razvoja in načini prehajanja med njimi. To magistrsko delo obravnava eno izmed ustaljenih arhetipskih figur, arhetip bojevnika, ter s pomočjo različnih znanstvenih razprav in dognanj prikaže njen vpliv na literarne like različnih literarnih obdobij, še posebej pa se posveti obravnavi likov v romanu Tridnevna pot (Three Day Road) Josepha Boydna. Arhetip bojevnika velja za enega najintenzivnejših in proaktivnih arhetipov nasploh, zato ne čudi, da se z njim najlaže poistovetijo prav ljudje, za katere so značilni prevzemanje pobude, tveganje in udejanjanje lastnih ciljev ali ciljev družbe. Med takšne seveda uvrščamo predvsem različne vrste vojakov, ki svoje arhetipske značilnosti s pridom uporabljajo v boju. Kljub temu pa se arhetip bojevnika ne omejuje zgolj na tradicionalna bojišča in je njegov vpliv moč najti tudi pri drugih, manj smrtonosnih človeških socialnih interakcijah in odnosih. Te interakcije, ki se pojavljajo in ponavljajo skozi celotno zgodovino človeške družbe, so prisotne tudi v številnih literarnih delih, s čimer jim je zagotovljena univerzalna sporočilnost in hkrati možnost preučevanja s strani prihodnjih rodov.
