Entry 9

         In the movie ‘Stardust’ directed by Matthew Vaughn, There were many different archetypes but the one that actually stood out to me was the lover archetype. The reason I chose lover is because, through the entire movie Tristan Thorn is such a lover boy. He is ‘in love’ with a women named Victoria that is about to be married to another man soon but still he wanted to win over her love. She didn’t seem too interested in him until they saw a fallen star. Tristan tells her that he would go and bring her the star to show his love to her.

        

         Along the way to finding this star, he crosses over a wall into the magical world. He crashes into the star and finds out that this female named Yvaine. Tristan ties her up and tells her that he will take her to Victoria to show his true love to her. Little did they know that the witches wanted Yvaine heart to eat so they can have their beauty back forever.

          

          They went through so much while trying to get to Victoria. The witch was after them, trying to kill them. Even through the madness, Tristan remained a lover simply because he did not kill anyone. He then fell in love with Yvaine. He tried to still keep his word with Victoria by bringing her a piece of the star (some of Yvaine’s hair) and he told her that he wasn’t in love with her. At the end of the movie Tristan found what true love with. True love cannot be bought (like he tried to do with Victoria) it a feeling that you would get and know when it happen.
