myths and archetypes as a universal language for the building of an acting personality

Kako glumci kreiraju likove? Što omogućava verbalizaciju pitanja o sebi i svijetu? I što, u konačnici, omogućava da se na ista pitanja odgovori? Umjetnost postoji koliko postoji ljudska svijest, umjetnost je alat koji, između ostalog, bilježi, pamti, postavlja mogućnosti, analize, opcije, otvara prostor zamišljaja i njeguje ljudsko postojanje. Čovjek se koristi simbolikom kako bi bolje razumio vlastito postojanje i već se ondje susreće s mitom i arhetipom. Ovaj rad analizira relaciju mita i arhetipa, tj. način na koji se proučava svijet i tumači u teatru. Osim svijesnog, nesvijesni dio uma uvelike čini čovjeka onakvim kakav je, uvjetuje ljudske požude, želje i objašnjava akcije i djelovanja. Nesvijesno omogućava predvidivost u izgradnji lika, svijesno je tek naličje. Arhetipi u određenim prilikama u ljudima izazivaju slične misli, osjećaje i ideje, bez obzira na to odakle su, koje su vjeroispovijesti i klase. Kroz diplomski rad predstavljaju se teorije nekih od autora koji su se bavili navedinim pojmovima, ali i vlastito iskustvo kreiranja likova u usporedbi s navedenim teorijskim okvirima.How do actors create characters? What makes it possible to verbalize questions about yourself and the world? And what, ultimately, allows the same questions to be answered? Art exists as much as there is human consciousness, art is a tool that, among other things, records, remembers, sets possibilities, analyses, options, opens up the space of imagining and nurtures human existence. Man uses symbolism to better understand his own existence and already encounters myth and archetype there. This paper analyzes the relation between myth and archethyp, i.e. the way the world is studied and interpreted in the theatre. In addition to the aware, unconscious part of the mind makes a man who he is, conditioning people's lusts, desires and explaining actions. Unconsciously allows for predictability in the construction of the character, but conscious is only the surface of the construction. Archetips in certain occasions provoke similar thoughts, feelings and ideas in people, regardless of where they are from, what religions and classes they are. Through the graduate thesis are presented the theories of some of the authors who dealt with the terms mentioned, as well as my own experience of creating characters analyzed through the mentioned theoretical frameworks
