Archetypal/ Symbolic/ Mythic Criticism

Movie: Present Perfect

In this movie, Pam takes an emotional journey learning to connect to her so called
niece UK, who turns out to be her daughter from a former lover that had forced her
to have sex and impregnated her.
Archetypal:
The Journey- the series of events show a journey towards learning who UK really is.
The journey is a journey that may be physical or emotional to understand his or her
personality and the nature of the world. Like Pams journey to her parental instincts
towards UK. Like the Lord of the Flies, wherein they take an internal journey.
The Departure UK departs from her mother, Pee to live with her aunt Pam for a
few days. Within those days, the truth of who UK really is Pams daughter-revealed. This can be compared to Harry Potter, it is shown by Harry finding out
that he is a wizard and entering the wizard world.
