Heroic archetypes in Avatar

[Empty Glass]

Jake: "I'm not afraid."

Neytiri: "You will be.

You will be."



I like this kind of story analysis. I agree that Jake is a combination of a few, but one that hasn't been mentioned yet is the Bold Adventurer. As Grace put it, he decided to go to the most hostile place known to Man just to see how it went (though having new legs was a definite bonus). I think there's enough of the Bold Adventurer in him since a lot of us here on ToS want to go out into the world and have exciting adventures in our post-Avatar states.
