---

ABSTRACT

The concern of this study was about the archetypal characters of men characters who
transformed into women as portrayed by Toom of Beautiful Boxer and Kevin & Marcus of White
Chicks films. This study used Jung’s four major archetypes to find out the types of archetype
portrayed by the three men characters and their similarities and differences toward each other.
Qualitative research was the research design of this study. The data used in this study were words
(narrations and dialogues) related to Toom character taken from the English Subtitle of Beautiful
Boxer film and Kevin & Marcus characters of White Chicks film script.
This study found three types of archetype portrayed by Toom, Kevin, and Marcus. The
archetypes of persona, shadow, and anima were portrayed by Toom of Beautiful Boxer film.
Meanwhile, the archetypes of persona and anima were portrayed by Kevin and Marcus of White
Chicks film. The similarity of archetype portrayed by Toom, Kevin, and Marcus was that their
anima archetype existing from another archetype which led to the difference among the three of
them. Toom’s anima was the result of his growing shadow containing his oppressed desire of
becoming a real woman, while Kevin and Marcus’ anima came from their persona archetype
related to their mission of pretending as women. Based on these findings, this study concluded that
shadow archetype affected Toom’s decision of transforming into woman, while persona affected
Kevin and Marcus’. The implication of this study showed that archetypes had always be a part of
humans’ daily lives which they realised it or not, had helped them to reach the goals in life.

Key words: archetypal criticism, archetypes, archetypal characters
