One such one was the King Vestis, who experimented on his own family mixing the technology of nano bots and DNA of various creature and humans injecting the mix into himself, and his family.

The gods and goddesses were angered and concerned and cursed the family with darkness, Glauren was in and out of the darkness, going from normal human friendly vampire, to a crazed blood thirsty demonic psychopath.

The family’s motto is “Stand tall and proud or don’t stand at all!”

And wast thou fain, poor father,/To hovel thee with swine and rogues forlorn/In short and musty straw? Alack, alack!/'Tis wonder that thy life and wits at once/Had not concluded all.—He wakes. Speak to him.” (King Lear, 4, vii, 30-42). Knowingly even after how she is being treated by her father, she still shows her faithfulness.

Every story that is read contains archetypes, which is a certain person or thing that is expressed in stories, myths and many other forms of art and literature. The story of Sunday Sunday has many archetypes within it, but the ones that stand out most are the archetypes of Saving the Enemy, Fog, and Love Angles. These archetypes stand out the most because they are found in many childhood classics like Cars and Beauty and the Beast, making the audience familiar with these types of characters and situations. The reason why archetypes are used is because humans have a collective unconscious meaning that people like what they are used to; therefore whenever a story is written it uses these archetypes to make multiple interpretations of the same
An archetype is a human experience or symbol that is universally known and accepted. Archetypes can be images or stories passed on through history. Carl Jung, a prominent psychiatrist in the early 1900’s, used archetypes in his theory about the human psyche and how humans can recognize these symbols because they reside in the collective human subconscious. Some common examples of archetypes are The Hero, The Mentor, The Mother, The Villain and many more. Archetypes like these can be seen in everyday things like books, tv or movies. In The Complete Stories by Zora Neale Hurston there are many different archetypes in each story but three prominent ones are The Trickster, The Devil or Evil, and The Hero. In the novel The Trickster archetype

Archetypes are everywhere, both in real life and in literature around the world, and humans know them all. American Gods is a fantasy novel written by Neil Gaiman in 2001.

Throughout studying many myths, I came up with many new observations. Many questions came into my mind about these myths. Greek mythology takes us back to a time when people had a connection with nature and when nature played a major role in people’s lives. The religious beliefs of the people who wrote the myths are found in the background of these myths; however, they are not to be read like religious texts. The myths try to offer explanations of “how”, which makes us think deeply about the purpose of these myths and the questions they draw to our minds. According to the myths we studied in class, the world created the gods, not the other way around. The gods were always created in the image of man, which shows how much men were important in their society. Furthermore, many of these Greek myths show us the difference between the views of the Greek then and our view towards many aspects of the society, including nature. Monsters appear in Greek myths and have different representations and roles. Greek mythology reflects a view of the Greeks towards the world and how certain aspects of their lives are similar and different to modern society.
