Archtypal Characters, Settings, and Actions

There are many archetypal factors in Inherit the Wind. The preacher, Mr. Brown is an archetypal character that fits into the group of Ruler. Mr. Brown was the ruler over the town and was kind of selfish in wanting the town to always stay in his correct biblical way of thinking and tradition and never accepting change. Rachael Brown is also an archetypal character that fits into the group of innocent embarking on a journey. She fell in love and had to embark on more of a mental journey through out the trials, on whether or not to disobey her father and follow her heart. Bertram Cates is a seeker archetypal character. He chooses to go against the normal and he chased after that adventure of being different and trying to make a difference in the town. The little southern town that this takes place in is an archetypal setting. It represents the same traditional setting where people over react if there is any change, kind of like Whitehall.
