The archetypal critical theory which argues that the true meanings of literary works are shaped by cultural and psychological motifs, characters, symbols and images that have concretized connotations before they are used in literature, is the school of criticism that best interprets Dr. Seuss’ “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.” This story heavily mirrors psychologist and archetypal criticism pioneer, Carl Gustav Jung’s postulation of the existence of two levels to the unconscious: a personal unconscious, of which suppressed memories of an individuals psyche are comprised, and an archetypal unconscious, which functions collectively for all of humanity, constituting patterns, thoughts, images, feelings, instincts and memories of ubiquity.
