I looked there and did not see anything. It does mention symbols and motifs. Are either of them the same as archetypes?
Here's a good explanation of archetypes.

I still am lost. The only thing I can think of is Pheobe referring to a boy as a lunatic because he is different.
Think about this from the above article:

"the term archetype is often broadly used to refer to

a stereotype—personality type observed multiple times, especially an oversimplification of such a type,

an epitome—personality type exemplified, especially the "greatest" such example, . . .

Archetype refers to a generic version of a personality. In this sense "mother figure" may be considered an archetype and may be identified in various characters with otherwise distinct (non-generic) personalities."

Certainly there must be characters in this novel who represent stereotypes.
