The Notebook

It has been called on of "The greatest love stories of all time." And by all means were they correct. The Notebook tells of a story of a young highschool couple in the mid 1940's. The story tells of a love that everybody wishes to find, and that all are searching for. Allie was an upper class southern girl with hopes and ambishens of becoming just as sucessful & wealthy as her father. For Noah on the other hand, he was all about getting by, and being thankful for the simple things. Opposites attract. The two young couple fall in love immediatly, but are painfully torn apart by Allie's mother, who thinks Noah is nothing but trouble for her college bound beauty. Through the 5 years that they were seperated, love was soon re-kindled, and Noah & Allie found eachother once again. The way the story is told is an old man, who actually is Noah, is reading this type of journal to, Allie as she has reached her elderly years, and is diagnoised with altimerz disease. 

Throughout the story there are many archetypes. The journal/book that Noah reads to Allie represents the story of their lives, love, and passion that they shared between each other. Also, Allie's Mother represents the  trickster. For the full year of 365 letters that Noah had wrote to Allie, her mother had taken and hid from her, to make her believe Noah wanted nothing to do with her.
