In "Star-Crossed" by Loren Baily, characters like the brave hero and the wise mentor are examples of archetypes from classical literature that help readers connect with the story. These familiar roles make it easy for us to understand their feelings and challenges, just like heroes and helpers in fairy tales or myths we've heard before. By using these timeless characters, the story shows us that friendship, courage, and love are important themes that everyone can relate to, no matter when they live.
