Abstract

The concept of archetype is also known as "first form", "first image", "prototype" and "root sample". The mother archetype is one of the main archetypes of C. G. Jung. The evaluation of motherhood, which exhibits a universal structure, in the same way all over the world within the framework of the social unconscious, constitutes the “supreme main archetype”. Motherhood is seen instinctively in the females of all living things. The woman with her child has maternal status in society. The mother type exists in daily life and narratives by carrying the traces of the mother archetype, sometimes with her positive aspects such as protecting her child against various dangers, coping with difficulties, nurturing and making sacrifices, and sometimes her negative aspects such as prevention, destruction and punishment.
