Character Archetype: “Knights in Shining Armor”
Identify what the “Knights in shining armor” archetype should be. How should storytellers use it for modern audiences? Does that change in different media formats? Make recommendations. Use at least four sources, at least two of which must be academic and one which must be a modern story source. You are not limited to four sources or a single modern story source, but this essay is focused on recommendations.
Make your recommendations specific and detailed. Discuss how they would impact storytelling. You may discuss how the diversity of media formats now used for storytelling would impact the portrayal. Give reasons for your recommendations. Do not focus on a single change. Discuss multiple details that could be changed.
The essay will be in two sections. In the first, you will address modern versions of your archetype and discuss what they’ve done with your concept. In the second, you will make your recommendations for how modern versions of your archetype should be portrayed. These recommendations can address social issues, structural issues, changes you recommend to have your archetype appear in a different form of media. . . You have a lot of options here.
The two sections of the essay may be of equal length or the recommendations section may be longer. The modern analysis must not dominate the essay. You are using it as a basis for your recommendations; it is not the focus of the essay.
This essay should follow standard essay structure. Be sure to have a strong thesis, introduction paragraph, and conclusion paragraph that restates the thesis.
Essay should be 1100-1400 words.
