The archetype I chose to describe in the film Stardust would
be The Caregiver. In the film Stardust the Caregiver role is played by Captain Shakespeare of the Caspartine, a
famous pirate. The reason I chose this
archetype is due to the fact that Captain Shakespeare is not particularly proud
of being a caregiver and would rather have a reputation of the opposite of what
he really is. The reason why Captain Shakespeare is a caregiver is due to his
actions and how he took in complete strangers (Tristan and Yvaine) and gave
them food and shelter. Not only did Captain Shakespeare give them necessities
to life but he gave them a comfortable environment to live in while he took
them to their destination. Captain Shakespeare even protected Yvaine from the
witches when he knew that she was a star. The captain denied knowing anything
about a star regardless of what he knows. The captain really took good care of
them while they were guests on his ship, he also took Tristan in as an
apprentice and taught him how to fight with his sword and taught Yvaine to
dance. Captain Shakespeare also gave Yvaine and Tristan clothes and even gave Tristan
a new look by fixing his hair. The Captain overall fits perfectly into the rold
of the Caregiver regardless of what his reputation is. He doesn’t want anyone
to know of his Caregiver role in order to install fear into anyone that hears
about him.
