Archetypes

Dashti- is the hero and the caregiver of the story because she takes care of Lady Saren and saves her from dying in the tower. She was determined to find Khan and have her marry Lady Saren because that is what she wanted and she said that she loved Khan.
Lady Saren- is the seeker of the story because she wants to find Khan and tell him her feelings about them and wants to be with him forever. She also is scared to do this because of Khasar and she thinks that if she gets out of the tower that somebody is going to kill her.
Khan- is the lover and the ruler of the story because he tries to break Lady Saren out of the tower but can't because of Khasars men and it is starting to become deep into winter. He also is the ruler because he is the king of his realm.
Khasar- is the villian or destroyer of the story because he is trying kill everyone that doesn't join him and no one likes him. He destroys and kills people and tries to kill Dashti and Lady Saren in the tower and tries to kill Dashti when she goes to fight against him by herself.
The mucker girls in the kitchen- are the friends of the story because when Dashti is going to be killed for lying about not being Lady Saren they come to her rescue and say that all the chiefs must approve before anyone dies. They were there to save her and they were friends with each other.
Batu- is a friend of the story because he is a good friend of Khan's and he helps Dashti in the end when she was going to defeat Khasar.
Lady Vachir- is like a wicked stepmother of the story accept she is not a mother to Dashti or Lady Saren. She is like a villian in a way because she wants to kill Dashti and Lady Saren for getting in the way of her marriage with Khan.

The Setting- of the story has several different archetypes. First- forest because of Khasar and how the girls are locked up in the tower and they have to stay there for seven years. It is just a crazy setting that the girls are locked up in. Second- caves and tunnels because Khasar and his army had killed almost all of the realms except for a few of them. Third- mountains/peaks because most of the cities and Lady Saren's town was wiped out and no one was around there. It was empty and abondoned because of Khasar either killing everyone or taking the people that didn't want to die and they would join his army. Fourth- river because there were places where the two girls shouldn't have been. Like Dashti going out to fight Khasar by herself with no one to help her out at all. Fifth- the sea because Khasar is strange and was unpredictable because he could change into a wolf at night and when he was a wolf he was really strong and could kill more people that way. Therefore, he was stronger and won more battles because he could kill more at night when the other people were resting.

Actions/events-was a journey because the girls were locked up and then they had to journey to Khan's realm and had to survive there and had to defeat Khasar.
