Abstract

In the 2018 Literature curriculum, modern Vietnamese fictional prose works are included in the literary texts at the secondary schools and high schools. This article primarily employs methods such as archetypal criticism, typological approach, as well as statistical, analytical, and comparative techniques. The study focuses on the characteristics of the archetypal earth and water in modern Vietnamese fictional prose within the 2018 Literature curriculum. The research findings indicate that archetypal earth and water take on various forms; earth possesses a vital, life-generating force and can provide shelter for all beings, while water serves as a source of life and has the ability to purify the human soul. The article aims to clarify the role of the archetypal earth and water in modern Vietnamese fictional prose, thereby enriching the teaching and reception of literature in the 2018 Literature curriculum.
