A archetype is universally know symbol. One common archetype is shadow, and this is featured in the book Red Riding Hood. This archetype represents the bad or scary things in the story. Which is the wolf and the woods. The use of this archetype is important to the book because it shows how evil side of the story.
The shadow stands for the woods in the story, and the woods foreshadow that something bad is going to happen. They also represent the fear that red riding hood has when she is walking home alone and reaches her grandmother's house and then sees the wolf in her house and she can't seem to find her grandmother anywhere.
Every story has a good and bad. Without this all stories would be the same. We use archetypes and representations. A representation for good is usually a hero and for bad is usually and villain. We use these everyday in our lives.
