fuck
I just realized that in my Jungian Depth Psych paper everytime I mentioned “Persona” it ought to have been “ego”…in fact, in the paper they’re practically interchangeable.
Now, everyone knows that the Ego is the archetype of conscious mind, and it is what shows the Persona to the outside. The Persona is not an autonomous archetype such as the Shadow, and everytime the Persona is mentioned in my paper, the word OUGHT to have been ego.
I feel like such a complete and utter idiot.
dammit.
