The different manifestations of the archetype Anima act as an ally between the unconscious 'self' and the conscious 'I'. Anima, both a Virgin Mary and a whore, expose the intimate conception of women, hidden inside the mind of the lonely man. While, simultaneously appearing in the women's subconsciousness as a mysterious and charming lover, a father figure, a professor or a saint, illuminating her perception of men. Anima, as many archetypes, possess a duality which allows it to have both a positive and negative influence.
