The archetype that I found the most "problematic"
or "confusing" is the Magician. I also decided to choose this
archetype as most problematic due to the fact that the magician archetype was
one of my lowest scores on the Pearson-Marr archetype indicator. The magician
is someone that is on the sidelines but they have a lot of power yet they do
not fully use it. I found this archetype quite confusing by just reading the
definition of it. The basic characteristics of this archetype can be confusing
due to that fact that the magician archetype can be perceived as bad and good,
the example the book gave me was of Harry Potter. Harry Potter in general is a
good magician and uses his wisdom and powers in a good way to help people and
there is also a bad magician such as voldemort that uses his powers in a
dangerous way to harm people. The magician doesn't necessarily process to have
power over the whole situation and have a different way of setting things to be
right. There are also bad magicians that use their power in harmful ways; they
also have ways of manipulating other which I am not so found of. An example of
a magician archetype in real life would be a guru or someone like the Dalila
Lama.
