Correct answers:
- They convey universal meanings and shared human experiences.
- They are universal symbols found in literature.
- They can include characters, plots, settings, objects, and themes.

Brief explanation: Archetypes are recurring, universal patterns or symbols (not the same as stereotypes) that express shared human experiences and appear across cultures and works of literature. They can take the form of character types (hero, trickster), plot patterns (the quest), settings (the wasteland), objects (the talisman), or themes (rebirth).
