If Vincent Vega were the protag in pulp fiction would the rest be as follows:
Marcellus - Trickster
Mia - Attractor
Jules - Mentor
Butch - Nemesis

persona - protagonist
ego - trickster
shadow - nemesis
anima/animus - attractor and mentor
self - change protagonist

i wonder if that's the relationship

woah

Gary: You're thinking along the lines I am. Also Jung talks about Mind, Body, Spirit, Soul. So perhaps, too, as metaphors:

Protagonist: Mind
Nemesis: Body
Attractor: Spirit
Mentor: Soul

And yes, Trickster as Ego.

I think there is a fundamental reason why this idea of 'individuation' works as an approach to understanding screenplay as psychological journey: each primary character as the physicalization of various aspects of the Protagonist's psyche.

very cool.
