Surpression
Snow White
An archetypal example of surpression can be found in the hunter figure from the fairy tale Snow White. He cannot ignore the Queen's command, but at the same time he is open to Snow White's plea. "Good", he says, "I will spare you, but never show you here again." He then pleases the queen (the stronger opposition pole, with which he identifies) with a substitute sacrifice (a deer heart), while at the same time sparing his more vulnerable side (Snow White), provided it never asserts itself again. In this surpression, some of the soul's own content and its potential creativity are rejected.
