Step-by-step explanation:

Definition: a very typical example of a certain person or thing

Example: The most famous example of an archetype is the Hero. Hero stories have certain elements in common – heroes generally start out in ordinary circumstances, are “called to adventure,” and in the end must confront their darkest fear in a conflict that deeply transforms the hero.

Hope that helps :)
