In “Rules of the Game” by Amy Tan, the mythological lens can be applied to show how Waverly Jong fits the archetypal “orphan”: although she is not physically an orphan, her story follows a similar path to the archetype in that she is driven by an eagerness to please others and the motivation to be accepted.

For instance, Tan opens the short story with a comment that “my mother taught me the art of invisible strength. It was a strategy for winning arguments, respect from others, and eventually, though neither of us knew at the time, chess games” (Tan 734). Waverly begins this story by showing the importance of following the standards that her mother has laid out for her.
