Archetypal

 What is Archetypal Criticism? What does the archetypal critic do?

Archetypal means images and symbols are representing in literature its called archetypal. Archetypal can refer to constantly recurring symbol or motif in literature, painting or mythology.

Archetypal criticism is the type of critical theory that is mainly interpret a text by the narrative technique and the symbol, various imagery, type of character, incident and also literary works.  Is the study of  how writer used mythical symbol and also different images. And also identify them how that is appropriate.

Archetypal literary criticism's origins are rooted in two other academic disciplines, social anthropology and psychoanalysis; each contributed to literary criticism in separate ways, with the latter being a sub-branch of critical theory. Archetypal criticism was at its most popular in the 1940s and 1950s, largely due to the work of Canadian literary critic Northrop Frye. 

What is Frye trying prove by giving an analogy of ' Physics to Nature' and 'Criticism to Literature'?

'Physics to Nature' and 'Criticism to Literature'  Frye compare the both. In physics to study a deep in a nature and Literature are not a study a literature. Physics deep study in Nature but is not called a Nature and  though based on the nature but called Physics. the same way Literature
