Game of Thrones has captured the imagination of enormous numbers of people in a profound way. In this talk we will examine some of the archetypal underpinnings of the show’s characters that we love to hate and hate to love within a contemporary context. This session will introduce the show and the complex nature of the narrative as the show’s main characters will be introduced. Basic Jungian concepts and definitions will be discussed, such as archetypes, complexes, shadow, ego, anima and animus.
