Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze the archetypal images represented in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein using the archetypal image classification proposed by Guerin et al. (2005). This research employed a qualitative descriptive method. The primary data source was Frankenstein novel by Mary Shelley, while the data consisted of words, phrases, clauses, sentences, and narrations containing archetypal images. The data were collected through close reading and note-taking techniques and analyzed using an archetypal approach. The findings revealed ten data categorized into seven archetypal images, namely water, sun, colors, serpent, archetypal woman, wise old man, and tree. Among these categories, colors appeared most frequently, followed by water, while the remaining archetypal images appeared once each. The identified archetypal images symbolically represent themes of life, death, transformation, morality, knowledge, human relationships, and personal responsibility. The findings demonstrate that archetypal images function as universal symbols that enrich the thematic and psychological dimensions of the novel. This study contributes to the field of literary criticism by providing a deeper understanding of symbolic representations in Frankenstein and by demonstrating the applicability of archetypal image theory in revealing hidden meanings within literary texts.
