Whenweenjoyworkslikefilmornovel,theremustappearvarietyoffeelingsthatwefeelfromtheworkitself.Thefeelingscanbesad,enraged,touched,joy,etc.that are often times accompanying its reader or spectator as the side effect ofenjoyingthoseworks.Yet,thereisonefeelingthatmaybefamiliartohappenandperhapswesometimesjustbrushitoff.Thatisthefeelingofexperiencing‘certainor typical’ situation from ‘certain or typical’ character. This phenomenon inliteratureiscommontohappenandcalledasarchetypes(JunginDaniels5).Jungstates that as human being, we perceive certain patterns in life (experiences,behaviour,etc.) fromourancestorsandarestored inourunconscious(1).Thesepatternthenwillbecomeaspartofourexistencetoshowouridentityfromacertainrace, culture, religion, etc. The concern of this studywas about the archetypalcharactersofthreemencharacterswhotransformedintowomen:ToomofBeautifulBoxer and Kevin & Marcus of White Chicks films. The researcher used Jung’sarchetypalcriticismtoanalyse the typesofarchetypeportrayedbyToom,Kevin,andMarcusandtheirsimilaritiesanddifferencestowardseachother’s. B.THEORETICALFRAMEWORK

1.ARCHETYPALCRITICISM

In our universe, especially within the stories over the world, there is acommon-repetitivepatternappearastheformofcollectiveunconsciousnessthatarestoredinhumanmindscalledarchetype(JunginDaniels5).Thearchetypesexist

ineveryhumanmindastherootofeverything.Understandingthearchetypesmaybe a bit confusing, because according to Jung himself, archetypes is almosteverythingthatposeastherootoftheuniverse(5).Thismeansthatevenallhumanin thisworldare thearchetypalsofAdamas the firsthumanbeing (5). In short,anything that comes from the collective unconscious as the result of the root’sanothercopyisthearchetype.Jungmentionstherearefourmajorarchetypesthatcanbefoundinacharacterofthestory:persona,shadow,anima,andanimus.

a. Personaisthearchetypethatworksastheoutermaskofpeopleinlivingtheirlifeinsociety(JunginAdamski566).Thismeansthatwithintheself,we-people,actuallyhavetwodifferentsides:theselfthatwelettheworldperceivesandtheself thatwekeeponly forourselves.Theonethatwelet theworldsees isourpersona. Persona associates with the society systems like job, education,marriage,etc.

b. Shadow is the archetype working to contain human’s dark sides. People’soppresseddesirelikesex,lifeinstincts,andusuallythenegativethoughts,actionsareconsideredastheshadow(JunginBoeree6).Onemayrefusetoacknowledgehis/herdesireduetothesociety’smoral.

c. Animaisthearchetypetoshowthefeaturesofwomanwithinaman(JunginBoeree7).RememberingJungonceclaimsthatactuallyhumanbeingarebisexual(7) that our sex identification are based on biological characteristics ofmale-female and followed by the society’s moral that either one is masculine orfeminine. Seeing the notion of bisexual itself somehow makes sense for theexistenceofanima/animusinone’sself.Theanima’sfeaturesassociatewiththetraits of femininity (Jung inAdamski 565). Those traits can be in the formofmotherhood,caring,empathy,etc.

d.Animus isthearchetypetoshowthefeaturesofmanwithinawoman(JunginBoeree7).Eventhoughthatwomenarecommonlyknownwiththeirfemininetraits like sensitive, caring, tolerance, emotional, but they are also capable ofdeveloping themasculine traits. Becoming assertive, having careerwithin theintellectual field (Jung in Adamski 566), that are dominated by men are theinstancesofmasculinitywithinthewoman.

Meanwhile, Kevin character ofWhite Chicks filmportrayed two types of archetype which were persona and anima. He used hispersonaforthesakeofhisundercoveredmissionasBrittanyWilsonandtobecomean ideal man for Denise Porter. Kevin’s anima was the result of his personapretendingasawoman,BrittanyWilson.MarcuscharacterofWhiteChicksfilmalsoportrayed two archetypes which were persona and anima. His persona wasintendedonlyforthesakeofhisworkastheFBIagent.Hisanimawasalsoastheresult of his persona (pretending as awoman, TiffanyWilson)which led to theconclusionthatpersonawasthearchetypethataffectinghisdecisionofpretendingasawoman.
