Abstract

In literary works, archetypes arise in various forms. Shadow archetype is one of the most important components of Carl Gustav Jung’s collective unconscious theory. Shadow is our initial self suppressed to unconscious, for it is not well received by the society and civilization. One of the reasons that urge the shadow to appear is the crowd, and crowd psychology differs from that of individual in many conditions. This article primarily aims at defining shadow archetype and crowd psychology. Secondly, it tries to explain the effect of shadow archetype and crowd psychology on the protagonist in Yusuf Atılgan’s story “Çıkılmayan”.
