Archetype
An archetype is an image or pattern which through history has become symbolic in a work of literature. In this case, Pieces himself has become an archetype through history as his story has been used as the backbone of new movies and works of literature which have come out in recent years. Writers have used the idea of creating a being which can mimic humans and their abilities. Pieces fits this role as he was created with such a person in mind, although he is seen as a monster which causes all individuals to see him as the evil being in the story. Pieces proves to the reader that he is what all have thought of him to be, through his acts of violence and the pain he brings about.
