Human psyche has always been considered as a cradle for designing our personality and perspective. With constant change in our ways of thinking and perceiving things there are certain symbols and motifs known as Archetypes that have been passed on from ages to ages to human psyche and has been a part of human’s collective unconscious. The researcher’s aim with this paper is to look through the Coleridge’s famous works with an Archetypal approach and how Coleridge has made use of these archetypes even when the idea of archetypal criticism emerged quite late i.e in 20th century. The paper also focuses on how these archetypes have played a role to give a direction and form to literary text.
