Abstract
This article was conducted with the purpose of the archetype analysis of the "Red Ribbon" film directed by Ebrahim Hatamikia, focusing on the female character of the film. The story is about a woman named Mahboobeh, who returns to her father's home in another city after the war. She encounters two men, Davoud and Jomeh, the first of whom is in charge of destroying landmine and the second o lives in a land full of tanks left by the war, and there are incidents and clashes between them. The theoretical framework of the article is based on the viewpoint of Jean Shinoda Bolen, who achieved new ideas by combining Jung's psychological and mythological achievements. She analyzed the personality of individuals based on ancient features inspired by Greek myths such as Zeus, Demeter, Hephaestus and Athena. Bolen believes that each of these archetypes possesses characteristics such as power loving, seclusion, eloquence and order that overlap with their performance in Greek mythology. These characteristics also exist in humans in different proportions and make the individuals have their own personality, character and choices in life. This research was conducted by descriptive-analytical method as well as the library and field surveys to show that Aphrodite, Hephaestus and Hermes archetypes are dominant in Mahboobeh, Davoud and Jomeh, respectively. Both men were trapped in the past, ignoring the present and the future. In fact, the one-dimensional and extreme life of Davoud and Jomeh attracts them to Mahboobeh. Eventually, however, a new development takes place following his interest in Mahboobeh and his aphroditic energy.
