"45 Master Characters" is designed to help writers explore the most common male and female archetypes - the mythic, cross-cultural models from which all characters originate - and learn how to use them as foundations for their own characters. Examples culled from literature, television, and film illustrate just how memorable and effective these archetypes can be - from "Gladiators" and "Kings" like Rocky Balboa and Captain Ahab to "Amazons" and "Maidens" like Lara Croft and Guinevere. Readers also learn about the mythic journeys of heroes and heroines - the progression of events upon which each archetype's character arc develops.
