Read the excerpt from The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald. Then, use the archetypes chart to answer the question.
There was once a little princess whose father was king over a great country full of mountains and valleys. His palace was built upon one of the mountains, and was very grand and beautiful. The princess, whose name was Irene, was born there, but she was sent soon after her birth, because her mother was not very strong, to be brought up by country people in a large house, half castle, half farm-house, on the side of another mountain, about halfway between its base and its peak.
What does the setting in the excerpt most likely represent?
Irene is young and has a lot to learn as she gets older.
Irene is destined to live a sad life filled with despair.
Irene was happier in the country than in the palace.
Irene will have to overcome obstacles before going home.
