Star-Crossed uses the archetype of the teenage boy as the football player, a popular and confident figure often seen in high school settings. This archetype is recognizable to readers from classical literature, such as the hero figure in Greek myths or Shakespearean plays. By incorporating this archetype, the character of Austin becomes easily understood and relatable to today's readers. Additionally, Alyssa's response to Austin's presence hints at the archetype of the strong, independent female character who is not easily swayed by societal expectations. This archetype is also commonly seen in literature and helps to further develop the characters in a way that resonates with readers.
