Abstract

Novels often use symbols to voice their authors’ opinions about individuals’ personalities. One type of symbols used is an archetype. This study aims to investigate the archetypes of a character named Athena in Paulo Coelho’s The Witch of Portobello (2008). The researchers employed a library study to conduct this study. The results show that there are six archetypes, namely Pallas Athena, the Virgin, the Martyr, the Saint, the Witch, and Hagia Sofia. The archetypes portraying her initial personality are Pallas Athena, the Virgin, the Martyr, and the Saint. The archetypes depicting Athena’s developed personality are the Saint, the Witch, and Hagia Sophia. In conclusion, these archetypes are able to symbolise Athena’s personality development.ABSTRAKNovel sering menggunakan symbol-simbol untuk menyampaikan gagasan penulisnya tentang  kepribadian seseorang.
