Exploring the shadow and trickster archetypes: an analysis of Alex in a clockwork orange and Amy in gone girl

The purpose of this study is to analyze the main characters, Alex in Anthony Burgess's A Clockwork Orange and Amy in Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl, through a Jungian perspective. Both characters exhibit complex and multilayered personalities, embodying the darker aspects of human behavior while employing cunning and manipulative tactics to achieve their goals. Through a comparative analysis, this study examines how Alex and Amy navigate the boundaries of societal norms, challenging conventional morality and evoking a sense of ambiguity and unpredictability. Drawing on textual evidence and psychological frameworks, the paper explores the ways in which these characters embody the shadow archetype, representing repressed desires and impulses, as well as the trickster archetype, characterized by William J. Hynes's description of the common trickster features. By examining the nuances of their actions, behaviors, and motivations, this study seeks to illuminate the complex interplay between the shadow and trickster archetypes in literature and their implications for understanding human psychology and societal dynamics. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the human psyche and the complexities of literary characterization within the context of Jungian theory and mythical symbolism
