Aibaleen Essay from the Book the Help

Aiabelen

In the novel the Help Aibileen portrays three different archetypes in the Novel. She portrays the archetypes The Care Giver, The Warrior and the third one is The Lover.

The first one is how Aibileen portrays the archetype Warrior. How she portrays the warrior is because the definition of a Warrior is when everything seems lost they ride over the hill and get past the problem and save the day. So Aibileenthe novel goes through a hard time because of the cold that she is and she works very hard for Mrs.Leefolt but mrs Leefolt treats her like crap and is very harsh to her. Even though everything that Aibileen does for her and her family. For example on page 18 mrs Leefolt is very mean to Aibileen and tells her " from now on you won't be using the guest bathroom, you will be using that one out there in the garage now, you understand ?" So Leefolt is making her use the bathroom in the garage because maybe if her color but she's not aloud to use the bathroom in the house the clean one she has to go to the bathroom in the garage even after all she does for mrs Leefolt. But Aiabelen doesn't want to stick up for herself cause she knows what will happen nothing. She just sticks through it and uses that bathroom. That's why she's a warrior.

The second one is the archetype is the Care giver She portrays a lover because of how much she does for her job and how she really truly does care for them. And would do anything for them. Even if they treat her beyond harsh and bad. And disrespect her butt she knows that's just because of the time period she was working in. For example on page 17 "I got a load of mister Leefolts shirts ironed and after this I'm going to get a pot roast going , I cleaned the bathrooms already , rugs vacuumed and got the sheets changed. " So again she does a lot in this house she is their maid basically and there caregiver that works for them and they don't treat her good at all what so ever. But she still cares for her job....
