Looking at archetypes in literature can be interesting, but they are fundamentally abstractions in the pure sense and so are like vapour, as easily as they are created, they can be disintegrated. It can be said that the feminine's propensity of co-operation and maintaining social cohesion has a stabilizing and ordering affect on society, while the masculine's propensity to be territorial and out compete his peers has a chaotic effect on society. And so, it is not difficult to find counter examples to Jordan's theories, and yet he seems so very attached to his mental creations, as though they are the key to unlock some never discovered truths in psychology and sociology. I just don't see the value beyond entertainment.
